Improve Working Memory
Practice remembering positions, sequences, and recent events with games that make different demands on working memory.
What is Working Memory?
Working memory is the cognitive system that holds and manipulates information in your mind over short periods. It is the mental workspace you use when following instructions, solving problems, or juggling multiple pieces of information. Unlike short-term memory (simple storage), working memory involves active processing and manipulation of information.
Match the Exercise to the Task
Working Memory Training asks you to remember card positions after a brief display. Pattern Copy asks you to recreate a grid. Dual N-Back asks you to compare the current input with earlier inputs. Read the rules first and try one task at a time so you know what your score represents.
Understand the Limits of a Score
A higher score is feedback about your performance in that task. It is not a clinical assessment or a promise of broader improvements. Research on cognitive training studies specific programs and outcomes; it does not validate every game that uses a similar mechanic.
Recommended Games
Working Memory Training
Progressive working memory training with card position recall.
Dual N-Back Training
Scientifically-proven working memory training with the dual N-back protocol.

Frequently Asked Questions
How should I track progress?
Compare rounds in the same game at the same difficulty. Note accuracy or the level reached rather than comparing scores between different games.
How soon will I see results?
There is no guaranteed timeline. Familiarity with a game may change your score, and that alone does not demonstrate improvement outside the game.
What is Dual N-Back?
It is a task in which you compare current inputs with inputs from a set number of steps earlier. Our game combines visual positions and audio.
