About Us
CogQuiz is a company committed to the development
of powerful computer-based tools for cognitive
and neuropsychological research and evaluation.
Our goal is to design computerized
neuropsychological and cognitive tests that are
affordable for assessment of medical and/or
mental health status in consultation with
licensed professionals. We have strived to make
easy to use, affordably priced tests usable by
the public. As a consumer, you have the
opportunity to take a test that provides
age-based norms with feedback. You may print out
a report that you can take to a licensed
professional for an evaluation beyond the report
we provide. We believe that an informed
individual is their own best advocate.

Working Memory Capacity Test Learning Resources
There are two main hypotheses for this weak
correlation between the n-back task and other
working memory assessments. One proposal is that
the n-back task assesses different
"sub-components" of working memory than do other
assessments.
4
Measure
A more critical explanation is that rather than
primarily assessing working memory, performance
on the n-back task depends on familiarity- and
recognition-based discrimination processes,
whereas valid assessments of working memory
demand active recall.

Details
The test consists of two boards with pegs and
several beads with different colors. The examiner
(usually a clinical psychologist or a
neuropsychologist) uses the beads and the boards
to present the examinee with problem-solving
tasks.
