What is this?
Task-Switch Arena is a cognitive exercise inspired by “task-switching” paradigms used in psychology research. It’s designed to challenge and engage your cognitive flexibility—your brain’s ability to shift its focus and adapt to changing rules.
The Science (Simplified)
When you switch from one task (sorting by shape) to another (sorting by color), your brain experiences a “switch cost,” which often results in a slight delay or error. Practicing this can help improve executive functions, which are vital for planning, problem-solving, and focus.
