A battery of tests was applied in two occasions with an interval of 18 months. The following tests integrate the battery: Progressive Matrices, DAT-T Form (five scales), and the Thinking Styles Inventory (Sternberg). A longitudinal analysis showed a significant increase in the ´post´ means for almost all the abilities tested. The ability profiles also showed the same tendency. On the contrary, the thinking styles measures remained stable in a ´pre-post´ comparison.
