What's the science behind improved focus as a result of training short term memory?

I don't know of any science.

But for me personally, I find that, for very long and complicated thoughts, increasing the size of short term working memory helps to prolong the time before the moment when I start to doubt my own ability to keep track of all relevant facts.

It's good for solving problems, but less so for work with an audience, e.g. writing clearly.
