The Working Memory(WM)

Working memory

Working memory(WM) is a small memory in human brain which can hold temporal information.

WM is the part of short-term memory which is concerned with immediate conscious perceptual and linguistic processing.

WM is just like a memory on computer.

I have heard that training WM was important for doing tasks on job.

Recently, I felt that I could training my WM with some smartphone’s app.

And I found that N back task may be effective to train WM.

N-back

There are some variations in N back task.

I bought one app which train my WM by remembering about numbers of figure.

I found that N-back task is consisted from load power and cycle number.

Load power is number of N, and cycle number is number which I solved N task.

Training WM is just like training muscle.

Now, I could score 60 times with N = 1.

I am trying to score over 50 times with N = 2.
