Abstract: BrainTagger (demo version: researcher-demo.braintagger.com) is a suite of Target Acquisition Games for Measurement and Evaluation (TAG-ME). Here we introduce TAG-ME Again, a serious game modeled after the well-established N-Back task, to assess working memory ability across three difficulty levels corresponding to 1-, 2-, and 3-back conditions. We also report on two experiments aimed at assessing convergent validity with the N-Back task. Experiment 1 examined correlations with N-Back task performance in a sample of adults (n = 31, 18–54 years old) across three measures: reaction time; accuracy; a combined RT/accuracy metric. Significant correlations between game and task were found, with the strongest relationship being for the most difficult version of the task (3-Back). In Experiment 2 (n = 66 university students, 18–22 years old), we minimized differences between the task and the game by equating stimulus-response mappings and spatial processing demands. Significant correlations were found between game and task for both the 2-Back and 3-Back levels. We conclude that TAG-ME Again is a gamified task that has convergent validity with the N-Back Task.
