Functional simulators

Longer, guided activities, best used with a clinician. Your client works through a full everyday task, and you get an objective record of what they did.

Builders

Build printable material for the person in front of you.

Practice exercises

Quick, single-skill exercises. Open one and start.

Filter by skill

Trail Making

Connect numbered circles in order, or alternate numbers and letters, against the clock. Visual scanning, attention, and cognitive flexibility practice.

AttentionVisual scanningSet shifting
Open tool →

Visual Search

Find and mark every target among the distractors (feature, conjunction, or letter and star cancellation), with results split by left and right side.

Visual scanningAttention
Open tool →

Sequencing

Put the steps of everyday activities, or numbers, letters, and days, back in the right order, guided or scored at the end.

Executive functionWorking memory

Pattern Recall

Watch a grid pattern, hold it in mind, and tap it back from memory, immediate or delayed, with an adaptive span mode.

MemoryVisuospatial recall

Figure & Ground

Pick target shapes out of overlapping outlines, or count every circle, square, and triangle in the field, one sweep at a time.

Visual perceptionFigure-ground

Design Recall

Study a dot-to-dot design, then rebuild it one tap at a time from memory, or copy it live for pure construction practice.

MemoryVisuoconstruction
Open tool →

Block Design

Copy red and white block patterns on the screen or with real blocks. Fresh designs every round, from 4 to 16 blocks, from solid faces to shapes made of half-and-half faces.

Stroop

Tap the ink color, not the word: the classic interference task with reaction times on every trial, plus a colorblind-safe counting variant.

Executive functionInhibitionProcessing speed

Story Recall

Read a short story, then answer questions about it from memory, multiple choice or free recall, with timed reading, delayed recall, and a read-aloud option.

MemoryVerbal memoryLanguage

Symbol Match

A key pairs symbols with numbers. Symbols appear one at a time and the person taps the matching number as fast as they can, with every response timed: correct items per minute, accuracy, and whether they slow down across the run.

Processing speedAttention
Open tool →

Listen & Recall

A voice reads a string of letters or numbers that can end at any moment. When it stops, the person says back the part the rule asks for: the last three, the first and last two, and on up. Steady pace, tap or spoken answers, and accuracy by string length.

Working memoryAuditory attentionMemory

Digit Span

A voice reads a string of digits, one a second, and the person says it back in the same order or in reverse. Strings grow one digit at a time until every string at a length is missed, so each round finds the longest span. Heard or shown, tap or spoken answers, and large print.

Working memoryAuditory attentionMemory

Pattern Recognition

Work out the rule and pick what comes next: repeating shape and color patterns, growing number patterns, and rule boxes, generated fresh every round with each choice timed.

ReasoningExecutive function
Open tool →

Visual Vigilance

Symbols stream one at a time for minutes at a stretch; respond each time the target pattern completes, or work the paper-style grid. Results split the run into thirds to show whether accuracy and reaction time hold up.

Sustained attentionAttentionVisual scanning
Open tool →

Visual Closure

Part of a picture is missing; work out what it is and pick the complete picture. Everyday objects and abstract figures, a visibility dial, and a progressive reveal that scores how much of the picture was needed.

Visual perceptionVisual closure

Spot the Difference

The worksheet pack's 30 painted scenes on screen: two pictures, a few things changed, tap each difference you find. Graded easy to hard, with hints, a one-picture-at-a-time mode, and false positives counted.

Visual scanningAttentionVisual perception
Open tool →

Mental Rotation

Is it the same figure turned, or its mirror image? Pick the turned copy among look-alikes, or judge pairs as same or mirrored, with every answer timed. Block figures or letters, turns up to 180 degrees, and a rotation cost that shows how speed falls as the angle grows.

Visual perceptionSpatial reasoning
Open tool →

Spatial Reasoning

The first figure turns to make the second: turn the third figure the same way and pick the result. The workbook's three levels on screen: everyday pictures turned flat on the page, then cube figures turned in space by a quarter turn, then half turns and two-step turns. Every wrong option is a named mistake, timed answers, and large print.

Spatial reasoningVisual perception

Picture Recall

The worksheet pack's 15 scenes on screen: study one for a timed window, let it hide, then recall what was in it. A partner ticks the checklist, or yes-or-no prompts with lures score it alone. Basic and complex scenes, a delay with sums, and study time recorded.

MemoryVisual memoryAttention

Memory Match

The classic matching pairs game in large print: turn over two cards at a time and find every pair. Clear line drawings with their names, 3 to 12 pairs, an optional look at every card first, and no clock on screen. Picture-to-name pairs make a harder round.

MemoryVisual memoryAttention
Open tool →

Same or Different

Two figures, symbol rows, or strings side by side: identical, or has one small thing changed? Changes are generated fresh and graded from plain to fine, half the pairs are the same, every answer is timed, and the results separate missed changes from imagined ones. A memory dial hides the first item before the second appears.

Visual perceptionVisual discriminationAttention

Picture Naming

One clear picture at a time, in large print: say what it is. When the word does not come, a clue ladder helps a little more at each step, from a meaning clue to the first sound to a choice of written words, and the word can always be shown and heard. For adults after stroke or brain injury, with aphasia, or living with dementia.

Rule Switch

The alternating attention worksheet on screen: a whole page of shapes, crossed out row by row with a tap, and at every switch sign the shape to cross out changes. A fresh page every round, with the shapes right after each switch counted beside the rest. For adults after stroke or brain injury.

Cognitive activities for seniors and adults

Many of these exercises suit older adults as well as people after a stroke or brain injury. Every exercise has a large-print mode, rounds are short, and nothing needs installing, so they work as cognitive activities for seniors at home, in a day program, or in a care home. The picture-based exercises, such as Memory Match, Picture Recall, and Spot the Difference, also work as gentle cognitive games for seniors, played together at a table on a tablet.
