The . Summary The aim of the work is to determine whether the skills of critical thinking persist over time ; i . e . , whether they endure after training . To accomplish this , we carried out a follow - up study of a sample instructed in critical thinking four years previously . We applied an instruction program , ARDESOS , to this sample and assessed the improvement in the basic skills of critical thinking . After checking the improvement in competencies we re - appraised it four years later . The results show that once the students ' university studies had been completed these competencies persisted and even improved with respect to those acquired after instruction in all the dimensions of critical thinking except one . Here we detail the whole process of evaluation and the results obtained .
