Guess What…

This is going to be another post about our amazing brains. But, since we’ve covered a lot lately, let’s see what you remember. For the beginning, fill in the blanks with the correct terms. 😉

What You (Should) Know

In several previous posts, we discussed activities that challenge our brain by requiring us to perform two tasks simultaneously, which is called…

As we mentioned earlier, these activities positively impact the amount of mental effort required to process information. This is called…

Over time, it also strengthens a particular type of memory that we previously discussed in detail. This type of memory is called…

And finally, the term that we mentioned in almost every post – the brain’s amazing ability to form new neural pathways – which is called…

What’s New?

In addition to what we’ve already mentioned, the game you’re about to play also enhances your selective attention – a cognitive ability to filter out distractions and hone in on relevant stimuli. You remember stimuli, right? And the relationship between stimuli and distractions such as those found in the Stroop Effect? 😉

Like in some previous games, this game also aims to improve cognitive flexibility, which is the ability to switch between tasks or thought processes efficiently.

Needless to say, it will also brush up on your hand-eye coordination, as you will need to find the proper associations between numbers and colors that shuffle during each round.

Of course, the game includes a timer because – as we know from before – working under moderate pressure improves performance and decision-making.

How to Play

This game contains numbers from 1 to 99 and four colors: red, blue, green, and yellow.

After you click the start button, odd and even numbers will be associated with two of the four mentioned colors. You will have 5 seconds to memorize these associations.

Next, you will see a random number, and you’ll have to match it with the right color. Be careful – colors are reshuffled with each new round.

There are 60 rounds and 60 seconds in total. If you beat the time – you win. If you have a correct streak within the given time – you also win! However, if you make a mistake – the game is over.

Best of luck, and let’s see what you’re made of! 😉
