Working-Memory Training Report – Shawn H – Session 12

Session number: 12

Average n-back: 3.45

Duration (min.): 33

Happy Weekend BFPers,

Today was my best training to date. Ended with an average of 3.45. I started on n=4, which is usually a sure fire way to start the day’s training with some anxiety.

However – I had a run of – - – count ‘em – - – six n=4s!! That is awesome! and I reached n=4 a total of 10 times during the training today.

I thought for sure I’d be able to reach my goal of staying off of n=2 today, but alas, it was not to be. I did slip back but only once. And on that one, I did get 0 misses, which was another goal.

Here’s the run down.

n=4 5 misses (1 auditory 4 visual)
n=4 5 misses (1 auditory 4 visual)
n=4 5 misses (2 auditory 3 visual)
n=4 5 misses (3 auditory 2 visual)
n=4 5 misses (5 auditory 0 visual)

It’s interesting to see the change from visual focus to auditory focus in the above run. And, I know I just barely hung in there with 5 misses on each, but I’ll take it.

n=4 8 misses
n=3 3 misses
n=3 4 misses
n=3 6 misses (all visual – interesting)
n=2 0 misses
n=3 2 misses
n=4 8 misses
n=3 3 misses
n=3 3 misses
n=3 2 misses (both visual)
n=4 7 misses
n=3 2 misses (both auditory)
n=4 12 misses!! Not sure what happened here
n=3 2 misses (both auditory)
n=4 3 misses (all visual)

Start at n=4 next session.
