Somewhat frequently while talking, either public speaking or just talking to a friend, my mind will suddenly go blank. I won't be able to remember what I'm talking about, and I have to retrace my thoughts to get back to where I was.
Is this something that dual n-back will help with?
(Isomorphic question: Is this a problem of working memory, or something else?)
I sometimes have this problem when sleep deprived. Are you getting enough sleep?
I usually get between 6-8 hours a night. There are times where I get less, but I haven't noticed it getting worse those days.
Then again, I may be less likely to notice a pattern if I'm tired.
