If an experiment along these lines is attempted, I think using Stanovich’s Comprehensive Assessment of Rational Thinking (CART) in addition to IQ as a pretest/post test would be a good idea. LW folks would likely be near ceiling on many of the components, but it’d be interesting to see if the training transferred to the CART itself, and also to give some measure of “room for growth” before the training began.
