Thank you for your informed comment.
I don't' work in the field so I find it hard to interpret these studies. What's your opinion about the size of improvements in practice?
For example, How meaningful is the 20.3 point difference in Buschke SRT test?
Cohen's d (mean difference divided by SD) above 0.60 with the memory or attention seems good (73 % of the people who take the dose get above the mean test score). But difference that is detectable in a test is not telling me how big the effect would be in the daily performance unless I'm familiar with the test.
