Give your brain a mental work-out!
Okay, this game tests your reaction speeds and ability to interpret imagery speedily.
The instructions are as follows:
THE GAME LINK CAN BE FOUND AT THE BOTTOM OF THIS POST
This game really is worth playing!
NATURE OF EXERCISE:
This is an extremely challenging "decision-choice" reaction time exercise that challenges your brain's speed of memory access while working against the clock to make a split-second decision. What’s unique here is that to make your choice and take the appropriate action, you must access information stored in different areas of your brain, then bring that information together into your “working memory” before you can choose and act. To make the exercise even more challenging, upon the random on-screen appearance of the word REVERSAL, you must give the reverse of the correct answer. This shift in momentum, called “task shifting” in psychology, or mental flexibility in real life, actually requires high order cognitive processing to perform quickly.`
INSTRUCTIONS:
You will be presented with a WORD and a PICTURE. If they are the same, respond YES by pressing the RIGHT ARROW key on your keyboard. If they are different, respond NO by pressing the LEFT ARROW key on your keyboard. Then release the key.
However, if the word "REVERSAL" appears in red on the screen, you are to REVERSE (give the wrong) answer for that particular trial. Thus, you are to answer NO if the word and picture agree, and YES if they do not agree.
This exercise will continue until you have answered correctly 30 times. Your score will be based on the speed of your response, your accuracy, and the consistency of the speed of your response. If you answer very rapidly but make too many mistakes, your score will suffer. If you make few or no mistakes but answer very slowly, your score will suffer as well. In order to excel, you must strike exactly the right balance between speed and accuracy.
You may interrupt the test at any time by clicking on the cancel button in the lower-right hand corner of the page.
Are you ready to start the test?
