adaptative n back training: performance curve

Dear Dave and Inquisitiers,

I am using the adaptative n-back task for an online training. I want to know if I can implement at the beginning of each training a progressive curve per each participant. I mean that the curve updates the latency and also the n back level they arrived before the actual training session. I hope that I explained myself.

Thank you in advance,

Mónica

This sounds like you want to track an individual participant's performance across multiple, distinct training sessions (days apart, I assume) and then "adjust" the current training session based on prior performance. If that reading is correct, then no, I don't see a way this can be done.

Yes and no. So, I want that each individual participant can see his/her progression at the begining of each session - how she/he has been doing it across multiple distinct training sessions (all the ones before, days apart) but not adjust the current training session based on prior performance. I want that each participant can see her/his curve of progression at the beginning of each session and therefore, they can be more motivated.

Thank you in advance,

Thanks for the clarification. I still don't see a way to do that, I'm afraid, because I cannot think of any way to get the relevant data (on prior training progress) into the current session. The Inquisit script simply doesn't "know" about those results.
