N-back Performance: Comparing Assessment and Training Performance

Year: 2012

Type: article

Abstract: Despite its frequent use, much is unknown about how the nback task is performed and how it relates to working memory.We conducted a detailed analysis of the accuracy and reaction time data from a 4-back version of the task and compared the results with previous results from an adaptive training version of the task.The experiment was also designed to test the novel predictions of a computational model of n-back performance.The assessment results were largely consistent with both the training data and the model predictions.
