Selective Attention Game for Adults: Explore and Find

Today we present our new game Seek and Find, which helps improve selective attention.

What does this activity involve?

This NeuronUP game for adults involves finding a series of specific objects among various distractors.

In this video, we explain how to play.

What does this activity work on?

Seek and Find works on selective attention with adults in a playful way.

How does it work? The user sees several items on the screen and must stay focused, finding only the items the activity actually asks for.

Play by levels

As in all NeuronUP games, you can choose the phase (difficulty level), with phase 1 being the easiest and phase 12 the hardest.

The user will also move up or down a level based on their correct answers and mistakes.

Customizing the activity

Custom levels can also be created to fit the user’s specific needs.

Parameters

You can set some parameters, such as:

• The number of items shown on the screen,
• the number of items to choose,
• the maximum number of errors the user can make.

General settings

You can also choose other general settings, such as:

• The number of exercises,
• the maximum time to complete the activity,
• whether or not to show a visible timer for the activity and how long it is,
• whether or not to include an inactivity alert,
• editing the instructions.

Adaptability

You can choose between two ways of selecting the requested items:

• The first is selecting the item and dragging it while holding down the mouse button,
• and the second is clicking on the item and moving it to where the activity indicates.

Everyday application

One of the activities of daily living to which we can apply Seek and Find is grocery shopping:

Imagine you’re at the supermarket with your grocery list in hand, a list with everything you need to buy.

As you go up and down the aisles, you have to put the products in your basket, but it’s crucial to pay close attention and stay focused on the items you actually need.

This is where selective attention comes into play: it’s essential to concentrate on the essential products on your list and avoid getting sidetracked by other items that may distract you and aren’t part of your shopping plan.

Children’s version

This selective attention game is the adult version of the children’s game Search and you will find!.
