Online Brain Games Highlight: The Dual N Back I.Q. Boosting Game

admin — Mon, 27 Oct 2008 01:51:22 +0000

A recent study in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences found that a particular memory game called Dual N-Back may actually improve a persons short term memory. The study indicates that by regularly playing the Dual N-Back game, it may be possible to increase almost anyone’s IQ (or more accurately, gF), which was previously thought to be unchangeable.

The Dual N-Back game involves remembering both a sequence of spoken letters AND a sequence of positions of a square at the same time, hence the term “Dual” in the game name. The “N” refers to how many sequences back you remember.

Links to sites where you can find and play Dual N-Back are listed below:
