There was no difference in effect size between dual and single n-back training.
“Additionally, we found no difference depending on whether studies used dual or single n-back, which corroborates previous findings (Jaeggi et al., 2014;Jaeggi et al., 2010).”
From Improving fluid intelligence with training on working memory: a meta-analysis (2015) · cites this paper as Jaeggi et al., 2010
Previous studies comparing single and dual n-back training have shown both versions are equally effective in producing generalization and have fairly similar transfer effects.
“Previous studies comparing the effects of single and dual nback training have shown that both task versions seem to be equally effective in producing generalization and that the transfer effects are fairly similar”
From Working memory training revisited: A multi-level meta-analysis of n-back training studies (2017) · cites this paper as Jaeggi et al., 2010
Single n-back training, using only spatial or only verbal stimuli, has been reported to be as effective as dual n-back on measures of spatial reasoning.
“In the case of the n-back, single n-back training in which the only spatial or only verbal stimuli are used has been reported as being as effective as the dual n-back (combining verbal and spatial) on measures of spatial reasoning (Jaeggi, Studer-Luethi, Buschkuehl, Su, Jonides, & Perrig, 2010).”
From A simultaneous examination of two forms of working memory training: Evidence for near transfer only (2016) · cites this paper as Jaeggi, Studer-Luethi, Buschkuehl, Su, Jonides, & Perrig, 2010
Jaeggi et al. found that n-back training produced far transfer effects on fluid intelligence measures but no near transfer to measures of WM capacity.
“In support of this idea, Jaeggi et al. [32] found that n-back training produced far transfer effects on fluid intelligence measures, which share a good deal of variance with WMU, but no near transfer to measures of WM capacity, which share little variance with WMU”
From Nearest transfer effects of working memory training: A comparison of two programs focused on working memory updating (2019) · cites this paper as [32]
Previous studies reporting positive training effects have normally used single but highly demanding tasks, such as the dual n-back task, and/or participants attained high levels of performance over training, such as n-back levels of over 3.
“Previous studies reporting positive training effects have normally used single but highly demanding tasks, such as the dual n-back task (Jaeggi et al., 2008, 2010, 2013) and/or participants attained high levels of performance over training, such as n-back levels of over 3 (Jaeggi et al., 2008, 2013).”
From Training on Working Memory and Inhibitory Control in Young Adults (2016) · cites this paper as Jaeggi et al., 2010
Some have suggested that Automated Operation Span relies on recall processes whereas n-back recruits recognition abilities.
“For example, some have suggested that Automated Operation Span relies on recall processes whereas n-back recruits recognition abilities [17].”
From Dual N-back working memory training in healthy adults: A randomized comparison to processing speed training. (2016) · cites this paper as [17]
Effects of dual n-back training were not previously investigated in a middle age-range sample.
“Although near and far transfer effects, albeit mixed, have been demonstrated after dual n-back training in younger (e.g., under 30) and older (e.g., over 60) age groups [5–12,15,17,18] effects were not previously investigated in a middle age-range sample.”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
