What are attention stimulation and rehabilitation exercises?

Digital activities, games and worksheets designed to train attention, improve concentration and support neurorehabilitation on computers and mobile devices.

How does the NeuronUP program adapt exercises for users?

NeuronUP adjusts game difficulty automatically and allows professionals to modify levels and parameters to tailor interventions to each user's abilities.

Which conditions benefit from attention rehabilitation?

Attention training is beneficial for ADHD, neurodevelopmental disorders, Multiple Sclerosis, Alzheimer's disease and traumatic brain injury where attention is impaired.

What does the Sorting Bugs activity involve?

Reorganizing moving insects so each type is placed on the correct side, training planning, selective and sustained attention, hemispatial neglect and processing speed.

How can professionals customize attention games like Sorting Bugs?

Customization options include number of exercises, maximum time, inactivity warnings, timer visibility, element counts, initial errors, movement speed, language and difficulty levels.

Five exercises to improve attention for adults and children

Q: Which attention processes do these exercises train?

Exercises target sustained attention, selective attention, alternating attention, processing speed and hemispatial neglect to enhance information processing and focus.

Here is this selection of attention stimulation and rehabilitation exercises, made up of different digital activities to work on from any computer or mobile device.

To improve attention, like other cognitive functions and processes, you need to train it. NeuronUP’s cognitive stimulation program allows you to train attention and concentration and helps activate the different brain functions through which we perceive and process our environment. Working through worksheets, games, and other activities on the different attention processes (sustained attention, selective attention, alternating attention, processing speed, and hemispatial neglect) will improve concentration capacity, maintaining an appropriate level of brain activation for correct information processing.

This cognitive function is essential for effective neurorehabilitation in users affected by conditions such as ADHD or other specific learning-related neurodevelopmental disorders. Also in Multiple Sclerosis (MS) especially to work on attentional slowing, in Alzheimer’s, where attention becomes increasingly affected as the disease progresses, and in many traumatic brain injuries (TBI) where attention intervention is a core part of rehabilitation.

Cognitive stimulation and rehabilitation exercises to improve attention (games, worksheets, and generators)

Below we show you some exercises to improve attention in children and adults.

The activities presented combine different therapeutic exercises, rehabilitation techniques, and learning approaches aimed at retraining and improving the attention skills each person needs most.

NeuronUP’s attention exercises and games adapt to the user by changing their difficulty as the user works, the level of the games and other parameters can also be modified by the professional to adjust the intervention as much as possible.

Matching Shapes

What does it involve?

This first activity we present is ideal for working on selective attention with adults. The user will have to find the matching figures among several similar ones. They can train from an easy level up to a more advanced one, depending on what the professional considers appropriate:

What does this activity work on?

This activity works on selective attention.

Languages

This worksheet is available in Spanish, English, French, Portuguese, Catalan, German, and Italian.

Play by levels

Find the figures is made up of 5 levels basic, easy, intermediate, hard, and advanced with 3 stages in each of them.

Format

Available in both digital and paper formats.

Organize the Bookcase

What does it involve?

An exercise to work on attention that requires a lot of concentration. The user has to place the objects on the shelf exactly like the model, but they must look closely because the model is in a mirror! In addition to sustained and selective attention, it also works on hemispatial neglect, spatial relations, and processing speed.

Do you dare to try it?

What does this activity work on?

This activity mainly works on sustained attention, and secondarily works on spatial relations, sustained attention, and hemispatial neglect.

Play by levels

Organize the shelf is made up of 3 levels easy, intermediate, and hard with 4 stages in each of them.

Activity customization

This game can be customized from the general aspects and parameters menu, adjusting the following aspects:

Number of exercises

Picture Maze

What does it involve?

This attention-improvement activity is designed specifically for children. In the exercise, the child has to navigate a drawing maze by alternately following different instructions.

Basic level

First, try an easy level.

In this example, the user must help César score the ball. To do so:

They have to move from one red square to another until they reach the blue one.
Switch and move through the red circles to the one that is blue.
Switch again to the squares until the end.
