I too found this effect in my dissertation research on same-different judgments of figures on a screen. Hard training achieved better and faster judgments than easy. The add from my work is the interaction effect of the cognitive style (holistic vs analytic) of the participant in comparison to the characteristics the task demands. If someone’s style was different than what the task required, hard training worked even better.

I left a $20 bill in my dissertation at the library if you can find it. I did that to see if anyone would read it.
