Twelve attention and memory exercises, adapted to you

Twelve short exercises for attention, working memory, processing speed, spatial reasoning and verbal fluency — among them N-back, the Schulte table and the Stroop test. Each exercise keeps its own rating for you: a good round pushes the difficulty up, a bad one eases it off, so the task stays a little past what you can already do rather than boring or defeating you.

A session does not simply repeat what you just did. Exercises you have not touched for a while come first, along with the ones where your recent accuracy sits in the 60–80% band, and the selection is shuffled rather than grouped by type. There is also a three-minute Daily Warm-Up: one round of all twelve, each scaled to your current level.

The twelve exercises

  • N-Back Challenge — track whether the current item matches the one N steps back.
  • Sequence Recall — memorise and reproduce sequences that keep getting longer.
  • Schulte Table — find the numbers in order across a shuffled grid.
  • Stroop Challenge — name the colour of the text while ignoring the word it spells.
  • Go / No-Go — respond to the target and hold back on the distractor.
  • Pattern Matrix — work out the missing piece of a visual pattern.
  • Mental Rotation — decide whether two rotated shapes are the same or mirrored.
  • Speed Match — say quickly whether two items match.
  • Reaction Tap — tap as fast as you can when the target appears; later levels add trials you must not tap.
  • Math Sprint — mental arithmetic against the clock.
  • Word Chain — produce words that fit a rule, under time pressure.
  • Anagram Solver — unscramble the letters into a word.

What it does not claim

This is an educational tool, not a medical device. The exercises are drawn from published work — the Science page names a source for each — but cognitive training has not been shown to prevent or treat neurological conditions, and the brain-training industry has taken fair scientific criticism for suggesting otherwise. For medical concerns, talk to a healthcare professional.
