N‐back Working Memory Task: Meta‐analysis of Normative fMRI Studies With Children

The n ‐back task is likely the most popular measure of working memory for functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) studies. Despite accumulating neuroimaging studies with the n ‐back task and children, its neural representation is still unclear. fMRI studies that used the n ‐back were compiled, and data from children up to 15 years ( n = 260) were analyzed using activation likelihood estimation. Results show concordance in frontoparietal...
