N-Back Training
N-Back is a classic working-memory trainer. A stimulus (letter, position, sound) appears each round; press when it matches the one shown N steps earlier. Increasing N raises the load.
Key Features
- Adjustable N (1-back to dual n-back)
- Visual and audio stimuli
- Adaptive difficulty
- Session scoring
- 100% client-side
Use Cases
- Working-memory training
- Research paradigms
- Attention drills
How to Use
- Set your N level
- Watch/listen to each stimulus
- Respond when it matches N-back
- Keep going through the block
- Check accuracy and load
Practical Tips
- Start at 1β2 back
- Dual n-back adds audio
- Short daily sessions beat marathons
- Track accuracy, not just N
FAQ
- Does n-back transfer to IQ?
- Evidence is mixed; it reliably trains the task itself and may help related memory skills.
- What is dual n-back?
- You track both a visual and an audio stream simultaneously, matching each N steps back.
