How to get from level 4 to 5 and beyound

bogdy23

Hello,

I`ve managed to get as far as level 4.But I've managed this by repeating every letter in my head and when n back 4 came I pressed the correct key. But that doesn't work on n back 5. Because there are too many letters to repeat in 5 seconds. What ca I do how I can i progress

As long as your not getting bored scoring 100% over and over try staying where you are for a little while longer. Unless you can contact the moderators.

I think there's some way to change the time I dunno?

The human mind stops updating new stimuli after 4-5 items. The only way higher is through chunking.

I think the limit for short term memory is around 7 items, not 4-5. I try to work with a 'holistic' approach not remembering these items one after the other but all together.

Yeah. 7 items... So in dual 4 back you already have 8 items stored in WM. Position and sound.

Yes however I try to pack the visual and audio sign together. This way I have a vague memory of the past 4x2 / 5x2 items all together. As the memory is vague my decision is sometimes based on likeliness and probabliity and not assurance. This part is very interesting because on higher levels (leverl 4/5) my deceision looks to be very similar to a kind of instinct. Like a deja vu or someting. :-)

I has reached level 8 yesterday night by chunking and subvocalizing, which is bad training way said by tutorial. But without that, I can only train in level 3. What a huge difference! Chunking and subvocalizing is just like Kaiō-ken in "Dragon Ball".

I don´t even know what it should mean not to vocalize? Why is it bad? How to do it withou?
