Why are n-back tasks used?

The article only mentions that n-back tasks are used to "stimulate brain activity." For what end? Why are neuroscientists interested in this? Requiredforclass (talk) 19:44, 7 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Software implementation

The screen shot of the n-back task is for a commercial software sold by FingerFriendlySoft in the itunes store. It is there for the purposes of advertising and thus inappropriate. Moreover, the screen shot is uninformative with regards to the task, I am removing it. jben —Preceding undated comment added 10:15, 25 August 2011 (UTC).[reply]

The text: "The suite of working memory training tasks used in the study on dopamine receptor levels is available from Pearson Education.[1]" has been removed because there are no reference to dopamine receptor previously.Ppaulojr (talk) 19:33, 19 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Reverted because your claim was incorrect. --Gwern (contribs) 22:45 7 July 2011 (GMT)
