What does this activity train?

Identify the Piece trains selective attention in adults in a playful way.

How does it do this? We will need to pay attention to the different elements of the piece we have to identify.

To successfully complete the level it is essential that the user identifies the visual elements of the shown piece and recognizes them in the complete image.

Otherwise, other quadrants can act as distractors and cause the user to choose an incorrect piece.
