Re: Triple Nback benefits

milestones,

thank you very much for your feedback.........

congratulations on TNB 5!!!!--geesh, amazing. I can barely do dnb5!!!!

what is your proficiency on dnb? i would think at least dnb7 at 90%
mastery or higher dnb even.


perhaps after masterng dnb6 i should consider tnb..........

too bad jonathan wont do a study on tnb.........he has the background.


if someone could confirm how to get to tnb..........i am assuming
this:

C: choose game type

Use Position: Yes
Use color: yes
use audio: yes


what is confusing to me, is that this is triple too it seems:
use position:yes
use image:yes
use audio:yes

i mean, that is three stimuli..........
