Apropos of this article following Gwern's discussion of spaced repetition:
I wonder if a Dual N-Back task that was based on material-to-be-memorized, rather than just positions/letters, would have interesting effects on working or long-term memory. (You'd be stressing two related/entangled recall systems at once.)
Anyone done that test?
- gwern 13y agoI've never heard of that. You could probably script up something. Brain Workshop lets you specify a set of images to use, so I could imagine writing a script to extract the images of the next 30 flashcards and dump them into the folder each time you start up BW, and you would n-back with that... I would be fascinated to hear how it went.
