Today was the first time I only had 4 misses…on just one block. I’m still mostly getting about 7-10 misses. Have to say I’m feeling a little discouraged..I’m 60, so maybe it just takes more time.

4.45 is my baseline when starting at n=2. Next, let’s see what I can do when starting at n=5 / n=6, then work my way up from there.

n=2 was 0 or 1 wrong (wrong always auditory). n=3 is still all over. when visual is better, auditory trashes the average but visual is not consistent yet. with n=2 I can think about sound and the visual takes care of itself. n=3 I have to think about visual too and then I lose track of auditory and … predictable. last 5 sessions have been 2.5 n-back with one (#4) 2.4.

Training session six wasn’t what I was expecting. My n-back average actually decreased to 3.0. I started to assume that my working memory index peaked too soon. However, after session seven, it was apparent that it was not the case. Perhaps my performance fell victim to the Fibonacci retracement principle. Nonetheless, on session seven, I passed n=4 twice. This brought my n-back average to 3.8. This program is amazing. I can’t believe how rapidly I’m seeing results. In a week, I went from 2.5 to 3.8. That’s a 52% increase from session one. I can’t wait to see what the next twelve sessions reveal.

I didn’t expect substantial results today due to my mind being fatigued from a hectic workday. In fact, I was considering skipping today’s Brain Fitness Pro training session. But, something inside me wants to know if this product really works. In order to give the product an honest assessment, I decided that I would stick with the training for 20 consecutive days as instructed.

I just completed my fourth session and I am surprised at my results. Today, my n-back average increased by .4 points. This brings my n-back average to 3.2. I’m consistently passing n=3 with ease. But, n=4 is still feels overwhelming at this time.

Throughout my day, I feel like tasks are easier to accomplish. My job requires a great deal of multitasking and I found it easier to juggle responsibilities. I can’t confirm that it’s the training from the program just yet. I’m not sure if it’s subjective validation for having an “on” day. But, I intend to continue using this program and provide honest feedback.

When I completed n=3, I was amazed! I’ve made great progress with this program in three sessions. Now that I’m at n=4, I feel completely overwhelmed. I’m confident that I’ll be able to master n=4 very shortly though. I can already feel a significant increase in logic processing ability, particularly with numbers.

Yes, got about 4 at last! For me this is slow work.

I’m wondering whether anyone has any experience of ‘Onetest’? It’s an Australian developed screening test based loosely on the Wonderlic concept of a quick assessment of cognitive aptitude. The only problem is that 1/5 of the questions have more than one valid answer – and the more creative you are, the more possible answers you can see. My husband, (double first class honours Maths & Physics, PhD Physics, leading building scientist) couldn’t immediately answer this particular line of questions.
