Stage: 1
Session number: 1
Average n-back: 4.55
Got up to N-7, made one attempt at trial 19/20, failed miserably, and then completed on N-6.
Had a similar experience when attempting to break through the N-5 level. Seems brain expends much energy trying to synthesize everything and, after several sessions, needs a moment of respite. For me these ‘breaks’ both came after the successful climb to a higher level, and roughly five minutes of activity or halfway through and at the end. I should try to keep track of the time next time to see if this is a trend. If so, it will be interesting how the mental endurance develops with the training sessions. I suspect this is one of the main outcome goals.
Positive eperience thus far. Have attempted those puzzles in the past, albeit not much. could be that the progress is not as pronounced as with other users. Regardless, look forward to seeing it through.
