stuck at dual 3 back

[amritanshu]

hello folks, i have taken 30+ test of dual 3 back I cant get it past
80% :( ... either its the position that gets messed or the
alphabet ... Is there something I am missing ? :( :( ... or is it
called being dumb here. *sigh*

I think that you are doing well...It would be preferable to get past 80%, but there is no reason that you must do so. Eventually. you will get past 80%.

try chunking in 3's for a while...

a t k
t k a
k k t
etc...

memorize 3 at a time basically

[whoisbambam]

i wouldnt chunk, just personal preference.

look, i didnt think i was gonna get past dnb2

then i didnt think i was gonna get past dnb3

then i didnt think i was gonna get past dnb4

and now i am not sure i am gonna get past dnb5

i have no true idea how long it has taken me, but i wouldnt be
surprised if it was the equivalent of 5days a week, 20minutes a day,
for 365 days.

and here i am on dnb5, 2.5seconds, guaranteed match 0.1, interference
0.2

there are many techniques i tried, mostly increasing the trials,
increaseing the speed, lowering guaranteed match, increasing
interference, etc in order to get to the next level.

but i never did, nor ever will, chunk.

u can probly find numerous posts where i have given many details on my
techniques to get past levels, gleened from ppl here and my own trials
and tribulations.


u can even try just single nback audio or visual to break into the
next level--get comfy doing both singularly, then combine the two.

increase trials so u can start over in ur head without ending the
game--like 200 trials. when u lose place, just start over.

after u get good at that, then increase the speed by 0.1 to 0.2seconds

then lower the speed, increase interference from 0.125 to say 0.2, up
to 0.375--beyond this and i dont think it improves anything--it
actually seems to get easier, strangely.

and, the more days u play, lol, the higher u will advance.

may take 3months to go up a level.

Thanks for your response! yeah I think consistency is the way, My
scores are getting better ... Interestingly the dreams are weird now
and vivid, plenty of monuments combined in one architecture - wish
they were real. :) Also, I have noticed that nights I remember my
dreams are nights I have slept more. I have been sleeping more lately
- 7-8 hours.

Cheers!
