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