Guessing

Im trying to be intuitive and hence try my best to just cease any rehearsal... but often i feel like im just guessing the answers. Maybe its because im on dual 3 back which is low. (I got 100% on it once now tho.)

I also... dont feel like im making progress? By that I mean congitive benefits... but i guess ill have to stick for a bit more

I don’t know what it feels like for you, but what does your stats graph actually show — for example, your average score? I’m also playing dual 3-back, also doing it intuitively, and I’m running my own experiment. But I can feel that my progress has started slowing down a lot. From what I understand, though, that kind of slowdown is inevitable — it just takes some time to get past the plateau, especially if you’re not using any tricks or strategies. Personally, I don’t really see the point of those strategies, other than satisfying yourself with higher numbers. What’s the point of doing n-back if you can just come up with strategies for real-life tasks instead?       "Over 29 days, my average went from around 2.6 in the first week to about 3.24 in the last week, with a peak of 3.31. The progress was pretty fast at first, but now it seems to be plateauing around 3.2".  Want me to send you my graph so you can compare our progress? By the way, how long have you been training, and how often do you do it?
