<p>This item contains an anonymised data file for each of the experimental tasks performed as part of a study investigating the effect of training schedule on home-based working memory training in healthy older adults. It contains the following nine datasets:</p>
<ol>
<li>Participant demographic information (demographic_information)</li>
<li>Verbal working memory training task (verbal_training_task_nback)</li>
<li>Spatial working memory training task (spatial_training_task_nback)</li>
<li>Near transfer task 1 (digit-span forward)</li>
<li>Near transfer task 2 (digit-span backward)</li>
<li>Far transfer task (relational reasoning)</li>
<li>Optional questionnaire (optional_questionnaire_responses)</li>
<li>Smoothed verbal working memory training task (smoothed_verbal_training_task_nback) </li>
<li>Smoothed spatial working memory training task (smoothed_spatial_training_task_nback)</li>
</ol>
