Exercise for working memory and fluid intelligence (available in English/German)


Dual N-Back Training is a professional brain training game. Unlike many other brain training exercises the dual n-back training has been shown to also have positive effects on other brain activities. This was confirmed by a number of scientific studies.BackgroundSwiss scientists (around Susanne M. Jaeggi) found in healthy adults that practicing challenging brain exercises (dual n-back) targeting the working memory at a daily workout time of 25 minutes over a period of 8 to 19 days lead to a statistically significant improvement in the results of a matrix test, which measures fluid intelligence – as compared to a control group, before and after the training.An independent study conducted at the University of Technology (Hangzhou, China) has confirmed Jaeggi results. After students completed a ten-day training program – based on the dual n-back working memory theory – they scored much better results in Ravens Progressive Matrices.InstructionsA blue square is presented in a 3 x 3 grid successively at different positions. Simultaneously a voice reads a list of letters. The task is to notice when the current position of the square and / or a letter matches the one from two steps earlier in the sequence (n = 2).With 90% correct answers the difficulty for the next block of the training session increases. Now you must compare position and letter with three steps earlier (n = 3).Dont worry. If it gets too hard, the difficulty is also adapted to your current performance.So, you always train at an optimum level. Good luck!Features• English and German speech• an adaptive difficulty level (1 ≤ n ≤ 21)• training sessions are the same design as in Jaeggis study• detailed results after a session• supports any screen size and format• free of adsPrivacy PolicyThis app does not store or transmit any ​​user-related data.• also available in English now!• detailed training results• selectable entry level for advanced players• improved color scheme• optimized for low and high resolutions
