Klingberg on working memory dev/trng, P-FIT model, neural/temporal efficiency, bran networks and cognitive development

Excellent article by Klingberg (2014) (copy with annnotated comments and links to other research) that brings together important constructs of working memory (Gwm), working memory training, brain networks and synchronization, white matter mattters, neuroal and temporal processing efficiency, and maturation and training effects on children's cognitive development.
The article does a good job of "connecting the dots" from many different programs of research.
