Two small studies from the same research group at the University of California, Berkeley suggest that intensive LSAT preparation can improve logical reasoning skills, with some limited transfer to an unpracticed reasoning task. The 2013 study found no significant improvement in LSAT Reading Comprehension scores, and the 2015 study found no evidence of broader cognitive gains beyond one relational-reasoning task. Both studies were small and did not randomly assign participants, so their findings should be treated as preliminary.
