Conflict Resolution
Train your brain to resolve conflicts between competing information sources and make accurate decisions under interference.
The Science Behind the Game
Cognitive Conflict and Executive Control Training
The Stroop Effect Test is a gold-standard neuropsychological assessment tool that measures cognitive flexibility and executive control. Research demonstrates that this task activates the anterior cingulate cortex and dorsolateral prefrontal cortex - brain regions crucial for conflict monitoring and cognitive control. Regular Stroop training strengthens these neural networks, improving selective attention, cognitive flexibility, and resistance to interference - skills essential for academic performance, professional productivity, and daily decision-making.
