The visual “word form” area, located in the left side of the visual cortex, is like a dictionary for words, and it stores the visual representation of the letters making up thousands of words. In this exercise, the user will be presented with the root of a word and they must derive as many words as they can using the root that they are given. While this exercise targets verbal memory and fluency, it also relies on personal knowledge of semantics, grammar, and vocabulary which is stored within the hippocampus.

In everyday life, we like to share jokes, things we have learned, and things we find amusing. Sometimes, accessing our memory to retrieve information for use on the spot can be very difficult. In this exercise, the user will be presented with the root of a word and they must derive as many words as they can using the root that they are given. While this exercise targets verbal memory and fluency, it can also help with word formation and learning by trial-and-error.

You can modify:

• The number of roots (from 1 to 8)
• The number of words to find for each root (from 25% to 100%)
• The time limit (unlimited, or 20 to 60 seconds per root)
