Re: Triple Nback benefits

Hey milestones,

I thought you were working on QUAD back in December, no?

Also, side-note: Somewhere you have mentioned that your improved WM
has now complemented your decent LTM. Personally, I would have to say
that before n-back I was fairly weak in both areas (however, I had a
good short-term memory - but could I never handle distractions & I
very rarely had a greater attention span than that of a fish) & since
training, both domains have improved significantly (and feel there is
still more to gain, especially if I keep exploring alternative modes
to traditional n-back).

I think I remember reading the title of a paper that elaborated on the
connection between immediate (short-term & working) and long term
memory, let you know if I find it...
