Abstract: The programming of the E-Prime Ravens Progressive Matrices and Counting Span Tasks was provided by members of the Attention and Working Memory Lab at Georgia Institute of Technology. In particular, the support of Randy Engle, Christopher Draheim, and Tyler Harrison is appreciated. The in-country support of Haniel Gatumu (University of Nairobi) and Samuel Kagundu (Compassion International, Kenya) contributed towards data-gathering efforts.
