Alexis Madrigal
Alexis Madrigal (born 1983/84) is an American journalist.
See N-back and Alexis Madrigal
Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder
Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a neurodevelopmental disorder characterised by executive dysfunction occasioning symptoms of inattention, hyperactivity, impulsivity and emotional dysregulation that are excessive and pervasive, impairing in multiple contexts, and otherwise age-inappropriate.
See N-back and Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder
Cingulate cortex
The cingulate cortex is a part of the brain situated in the medial aspect of the cerebral cortex.
See N-back and Cingulate cortex
Cognitive neuroscience
Cognitive neuroscience is the scientific field that is concerned with the study of the biological processes and aspects that underlie cognition, with a specific focus on the neural connections in the brain which are involved in mental processes. N-back and Cognitive neuroscience are neuropsychology.
See N-back and Cognitive neuroscience
Concentration (card game)
Concentration is a round game in which all of the cards are laid face down on a surface and two cards are flipped face up over each turn.
See N-back and Concentration (card game)
Construct validity
Construct validity concerns how well a set of indicators represent or reflect a concept that is not directly measurable.
See N-back and Construct validity
Convergent validity
Convergent validity in the behavioral sciences refers to the degree to which two measures that theoretically should be related, are in fact related.
See N-back and Convergent validity
Dual-task paradigm
A dual-task paradigm is a procedure in experimental neuropsychology that requires an individual to perform two tasks simultaneously, in order to compare performance with single-task conditions. N-back and dual-task paradigm are neuropsychology.
See N-back and Dual-task paradigm
Evidence-based education
Evidence-based education (EBE) is the principle that education practices should be based on the best available scientific evidence, with randomised trials as the gold standard of evidence, rather than tradition, personal judgement, or other influences.
See N-back and Evidence-based education
Face validity
Face validity is the extent to which a test is subjectively viewed as covering the concept it purports to measure.
Fluid and crystallized intelligence
The concepts of fluid intelligence (gf) and crystallized intelligence (gc) were introduced in 1943 by the psychologist Raymond Cattell.
See N-back and Fluid and crystallized intelligence
Intelligence quotient
An intelligence quotient (IQ) is a total score derived from a set of standardised tests or subtests designed to assess human intelligence.
See N-back and Intelligence quotient
Neuroimaging
Neuroimaging is the use of quantitative (computational) techniques to study the structure and function of the central nervous system, developed as an objective way of scientifically studying the healthy human brain in a non-invasive manner.
Posterior parietal cortex
The posterior parietal cortex (the portion of parietal neocortex posterior to the primary somatosensory cortex) plays an important role in planned movements, spatial reasoning, and attention.
See N-back and Posterior parietal cortex
Prefrontal cortex
In mammalian brain anatomy, the prefrontal cortex (PFC) covers the front part of the frontal lobe of the cerebral cortex.
See N-back and Prefrontal cortex
Premotor cortex
The premotor cortex is an area of the motor cortex lying within the frontal lobe of the brain just anterior to the primary motor cortex.
See N-back and Premotor cortex
Raven's Progressive Matrices
Raven's Progressive Matrices (often referred to simply as Raven's Matrices) or RPM is a non-verbal test typically used to measure general human intelligence and abstract reasoning and is regarded as a non-verbal estimate of fluid intelligence. N-back and Raven's Progressive Matrices are cognitive tests.
See N-back and Raven's Progressive Matrices
University of Oslo
The University of Oslo (Universitetet i Oslo; Universitas Osloensis) is a public research university located in Oslo, Norway.
See N-back and University of Oslo
Wired (magazine)
Wired (stylized in all caps) is a monthly American magazine, published in print and online editions, that focuses on how emerging technologies affect culture, the economy, and politics.
See N-back and Wired (magazine)
Working memory
Working memory is a cognitive system with a limited capacity that can hold information temporarily.
