      The debate is still raging about this question.
      It seems that with sufficient training working memory can be improved to a certain extent, but people are still debating whether it is the actual memory that is improved, if the improvement is general or just specific to certain tasks. But what is sure that as with everything training makes perfect. Even if the training doesn’t help the overall working memory it always improves the working memory for the task you are training on!
