Secret Files from HAPPYneuron

This game requires you to catch words before they fall to the ground and file them in the correct drawer. Secret Files is a game that trains attention and executive function skills, located in the pre-frontal and frontal cortex. In this exercise you will focus your attention, strategize, and plan ahead in order to succeed. You must also utilize your language and your working memory, localized in the left temporal lobe.

Secret Files is just one of the 12 Brain training games found on HAPPYneuron's BRAIN FITNESS program.

Benefits to Everyday Life

In everyday life, our attention skills enable us to listen carefully to what someone is saying while ignoring other conversations in the room (the cocktail party effect) or listening to a cell phone conversation while driving a car, which is definitely not recommended! Also, when we classify a list of names by category, we are able to remember much more information. We often need to remember fairly long lists, including what we need at the grocery store, what we sent to the dry cleaners' and holiday gifts.
