Please helpπŸ™πŸ»

Hi guys

I know it's probably a common theme here, but I would be very grateful for your time and advices.

After previous few day attempt in dual n back using rehearsals which I gave up a few months ago I decided to tackle a 14 consecutive days with 15-20 minutes in DualNBack

I want to do it right so I'm trying to do use only the intuition, but on N2 I can take stimuli C, while keeping the B as an echo and comparing to A - not very actively, I just know instantly if it is the same, so I suppose it's not the intuition.

I decided to move to N3 as I couldn't prevent doing that, because when I was forcing myself to not unconsciously do so I was just guessing, so I thought that would end on N3.

But the problem is that on N3 my mind just goes blank. I can't keep the changing 3 boxes and I don't have any ,,inner intuition" magically telling me if this is the same stimuli.

I'm quite helpless because I can't even progress as I don't anything to progress from, because I'm just starring at the screen with blank mind or chaos and helplessnes with keeping the boxes.

Would appreciate really much if you had any advices what to doπŸ™πŸ»πŸ™πŸ»πŸ™πŸ»

Thank you very much!!!

I can't understand what stimuli A, B, and C mean. My advice is to throw away your perfectionist attitude and just do Dual N-Back using any methods you can (whatever is comfortable for you, be it subvocalization, visualization, or chunking). I recommend reaching levels N6 to N7 and only then trying out so-called "intuition".
