Re: Theory on proper graduation of Nback training

The upper limit you mention is why I say that it is probably better to
move onto another N mode. But the experience of individuals who have
achieved high N is mysterious to me. I wonder if they have noted any
amazing benefits from reaching such high N, or if they are unsure and
simply train to train.

It could be the case that more amazing benefits are had from level 8
to level 9, for example. Or D10B, if anyone reaches that. Or the
benefits could decrease with each level, if they work like most other
forms of human adaptation. I am interested to hear what people at D7B
+ think about training at these levels.
