There is reason to suspect that interventions that increase working memory (WM) skills and/or capacity could improve deductive reasoning
This prediction stems from the observation that individual differences in WM capacity predict deductive reasoning performance on conflict problems where the believability of conclusions conflicts with logical validity (e.g., Newstead et al, 2004)
