how shapes and colors engages the brain.

Learn more about this exercise:

This exercise calls upon your visual short-term memory. The primary area of the brain exercised is the right temporal cortex and the parietal regions. Visual short-term memory enables the brain to store visual information such as shapes and locations of objects.

This exercise requires the user to effectively identify the shapes and colors that they have seen. We use these skills when we are distinguishing between different medications, warning labels on devices, and remembering which product we like in a store. 

You can modify:

  • The type of figures (colors, shapes, or shapes and colors)
  • The memorization time (unlimited, 10, 8, 6, 5, 4, 3, or 2 seconds)
  • The recall time (unlimited, 10, 8, 6, 5, 4, 3, or 2 seconds)
  • The number of figures (2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, or 10)
  • The order of recall in the recall stage (same as memorization or at random)
