The research below I got from this link:

Thinking this is most "all" the current research showing benefits since it is from the Wrigley Gum website.

Professor Scholey, the director of the University of Northumbria's Human Cognitive Neuroscience Unit, said that it was extremely clear that chewing gum targeted memory. "People recalled more words and performed better in tests on working memory when theychewed gum," he said. "We think it is the effect of chewing which causes this, rather than anything in the gum itself."
