The N-back task is specifically designed to study the controlled updating of working memory. It involves presenting a series of stimuli (usually letters or numbers) and asking participants to indicate whether the current stimulus matches the one presented n trials earlier (for example, in the 2-back task, participants would indicate whether the current stimulus matches the one presented two trials earlier). This task requires participants to maintain information in working memory while simultaneously updating their representation of that information.
