Re: Theory on proper graduation of Nback training

The way that I see this squeaking by is related to this:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Magical_Number_Seven,_Plus_or_Minus_Two

If working memory capacity can get only to 7 +/- 2 or 4 +/- 2 then it
would make sense to stop at n = 6 or 7, as you've reached this limit.

The thing is, we're not holding explicitly 7 items, despite that being
the N level. Because we're working, usually, spatial and audio memory,
it's more like 14 items. So I do not know.
