Has anyone tried dual n back? Has it improved your cognitive function?
- madeuptempacct 8y agoNo, I can't be assed to do it for more than a few weeks. I keep reading research on it, and it seems inconclusive. Gwern (https://www.gwern.net/DNB-FAQ https://www.gwern.net/DNB-FAQ) did a lot of research - a lot of anecdotal evidence for increased IQ scores. I think the only way to know is to try it. Take an IQ test (Preferably Raven's), do n-back for three months (exactly as they did in the studies), take another IQ test. Post on here if you do. Seems like WM should improve your coding significantly too, if it can in fact be improved. P.S. I can maybe do 6-7 back, and I am CFA, was in top 1% on SATs, etc. A lot of my friends and the articles claim 12-back, but I am yet to see it irl. When I did it for a couple of weeks, I saw no improvement. What are good tests for mental decline?
