A unique online trainer from the Mozgotren collection, designed to create conflict between the left and right brain hemispheres, training concentration and self-control. The task involves geometric shapes of different colors present in both the task and the answer options. However, the task changes and is clarified with each move, preventing it from being performed “on autopilot.” In some cases, only the shape matters, and the color is a distraction, while in others, the reverse is true. Using the available complication increases the hemispheric conflict effect significantly.
What the “Sorter” exercise trains
Like all exercises on the mozgotren.ru website, this trainer targets multiple systems, providing a comprehensive load.
Attention
A non-static, constantly changing task leaves no room for performing actions purely automatically; each time, you must understand what is required and find the correct answer. Numerous distracting factors, such as similar shapes or color differences, add complexity to maintaining attention. With the “shape within shape” complication, the number of deconcentration factors doubles.
Thinking
Determining the task’s essence is required during the game, at each new stage. The speed at which a player understands what is required affects the training’s completion time and final point total. With experience, this process becomes easier, and speed increases accordingly.
Reaction speed
After spending considerable time determining the task and finding the answer, you must not delay clicking the correct cell, as only then will the next task appear, allowing you to continue the training.
Game rules
Difficulty settings are not provided for this brain trainer, except for the option to enable “shape within shape.” When activated, the task will display shapes containing other shapes, differing in both form and color. In this case, carefully review the trainer’s task to understand whether it refers to the outer or inner shape.
After the game starts, colored shapes and task clarification appear on the playing field. The player must determine the shape’s color or shape type and find the correct answer among the options provided by the trainer. When searching for the type, ignore the color, and vice versa, when searching for the color, the shape type is irrelevant.
Scoring
The formula for scoring points for a correct answer is as follows:
Your total points + DC*Level
DC – difficulty coefficient, which depends on the difficulty settings chosen before the test. You can see this number in the top-left corner of the playing field. Increasing the difficulty settings raises the difficulty coefficient.
Level – a variable value that starts at a minimum at the beginning of the training and increases by one position with each correct answer. An incorrect answer lowers the level by one position.
The formula for deducting points for an incorrect answer is as follows:
Your total points – (DC*Level)/2
The total points never go into negative values.
Multiplayer
This is a great opportunity to invite one or two opponents and hold a real-time competition. The player selects all difficulty settings and then sends the multiplayer game link by copying it or clicking one of the social media icons below.
The competition can start once all participants confirm their readiness.
Each opponent has their own playing space, independent of the speed and success of other players. The competition is based on comparing the number of points earned with the same game settings.
The number of points earned by a player changes color: green indicates that the player is leading, while red suggests insufficient points for victory.
All achievements should be recorded and compared to help select optimal individual settings and provide insight into personal progress. The “Sorter” mind trainer already includes such a system, with collected data displayed as a convenient progress graph, accompanied by precise point figures and training time below.
The best results for a specific period will be displayed for all users of the Mozgotren website, serving as a unique motivational tool for new achievements.
