IQ Boost - training your working memory and improve your fluid intelligence

"Fluid Intelligence refers to the ability to reason and to solve new problems independently of previously acquire knowledge" (Jaeggi, M. S., et al., 2008)

According to a study published by the University of Michigan (USA), presented at the Association for Psychological Science (Washington), shows that playing "dual n-back" 20 minutes a day of 20 days, may actually improve the working memory (short term memory) and fluid intelligence. The memory task game helps to achieve better results in IQ tests since it increases the ability to reason and develop new problems.

The game "n-back", created by W. K. Kirchner, in 1958, is a memory task that encourages the use of "working memory", which has the ability to retain information in short-term memory in an active way, even before interruptions, distractions or interference.

IQ Boost, which is presented here, offers three variants of the "n-back", namely the "dual n-back", which allows display the auditory stimulus at the same rate as spatial stimulus, increasing the difficulty of the game. The difficulty may also be increased by increasing the game's time and the number of n-previous.

The game, like was presented by the authors' paper, is quite simple, basically consists of a memory test on a continuous performance task, in which the player saw two series (or only one) of stimuli that were synchronously presented at the rate of 3000ms per stimulus. One string of stimulus consisted of a auditory stimulus (category of animals) whereas the other string of stimulus consisted of individual spatial location locations marked on the screen. The task is to decide for each string whether the current stimulus matched the one that was presented n-previous in the series.

This mental exercise is great for children or adults who, when interrupted or distracted by something, have difficulty remembering what he they was doing. The game is especially recommended for students or for people who have a profession that requires great concentration, attention and the use of short-term memory, such as accountants, auditors, computer programmers or traders of the stock market.

Have fun while increasing your mental power ...

0.58 is red because is wrong. At 1:01 isn't green, it's blue and continue blue until press the buton at 1:12... and at 1:12 is green because is correct.

@oviana Yea, by "the first click after 1:01", I meant the press at 1:12 you said about. Look: It was "top left", "middle right", "middle right". You pressed at the second "middle right". How could it be correct? Is this position-2-back? Am I missing something here?

[PhucNguyen0112]

If this is position-2-back, the program is wrong at the first click after 1:01. Why is it green when the move is wrong?
