It does this by increasing the number of items that can be held in working memory, the bottleneck of learning. In a famous study by Jaeggi, et al., participants who completed 20 minutes of dual n-back training each day raised their fluid intelligence and IQ scores. Now you can do the same. To begin, click the Medium link at left to open the dual nback game in a pop-up window.

Note: This dual n-back game requires the free Silverlight plug-in. If your browser does not have the plug-in, you can download it here at no charge. The game above is a replica of the software used in the Jaeggi research study. The visual/audio dual n-back tasks from the study are reproduced in this game. Read below how you can train like the study participants did, and raise your IQ! According to the Jaeggi study, dual nback is the first brain exercise ever proven to transfer its benefits to general brain ability. Most brain games only train the mental skill used in that game. Dual n-back is different, because it raises your general level of intelligence. This is an exciting discovery with implications for education. I could easily imagine this sort of brain training becoming part of regular school curriculum sometime in the future.

To achieve results similar to the Jaeggi study, you need to complete 20 dual n-back sessions every day. Each session takes about a minute, and there is a session counter in the upper left to track your progress. The game also awards
you a score. You might want to write this score down each day, in case you want to www.memory-improvement-tips.com/dual-n-back-training.html

Memory Research
Dual N-Back Training - Proven to Raise IQ you a score. You might want to write this score down each day, in case you want to analyze how you've improved over time. When you are ready to train, set both hands on your keyboard, with one finger of the right hand over the "L" key and one finger of the left hand over the "A" key. Click the Start button in the upper right to start the first session. The game begins with dual 2-back, which means you need to remember the current sound/image as well as the previous two sound/images. The sounds and images flash on the screen for about a half-second each. When the current image matches what is in your memory for the n-back level you are on, press the "A" key on your keyboard. When the current sound matches what is in your memory, press the "L" key on your keyboard. Brainwave Entrainment

EXAMPLE. Suppose you are working on dual 2-back, and the first two image/sound combinations are Upper Right/Letter Q, then Lower Center/Letter F. The next pair is then Left Center/Letter Q. Since the current sound (Letter Q) matches the sound from two back, you need to press the "L" key. But the current image location (Left Center) does not match the location from two back (Upper Right), so you would not press the "A" key.
As your brain becomes more powerful, this game adapts to make the dual n-back training more difficult. When dual 2-back becomes too easy, the next session starts with dual 3-back automatically. Once you've mastered dual 3-back, you'll start seeing dual 4-back, and so on. I've made it to dual 4-back so far, which for me is very, very difficult. Dual n-back training is incredibly challenging. You probably won't consider this a "fun" game, at least not at first. It really strains your brain! Once you've mastered dual 2-back, you should start to enjoy the game more. You'll begin to realize that you are becoming smarter, and that your brain really is strengthening.
