Abstract
The experiment of Hager und Hasselhorn (1993) is inconclusive. It is p ossible that they did not have training effects at all because the gai ns can be explained by retest effects. Moreover, it is possible that b oth training programs have been effective in producing similar effects because both fostered similar processes. The inconclusiveness of the results could have been avoided by an appropriate experimental design.
