Based on the methodology of
The Stroop test. Built by psychologists in 1935.
Your brain reads the word faster than it sees the colour. Tap the colour of the ink, that means beating your own reflex. It measures focus, the first thing to slip when you're out of practice.

10sWhat actually slows down, and what you can train back
Your brain doesn't lose what it knows. It loses speed.
With age it's processing speed that fades first, not knowledge. The prefrontal cortex and the white-matter tracts that connect it thin and slow, so signals take longer to arrive. Both stay responsive to training, and BrightMind targets the focus and reaction that keep them quick.
An unmaintained brain
Prefrontal cortex: Left unmaintained it thins, so holding focus and working memory starts to feel effortful.
White matter: The myelin insulating the wiring frays, so signals between regions travel slower.
Processing-speed circuits: Fire a beat later, reaction time stretches and everyday tasks start to feel laggy.
Processing speed and white-matter integrity decline earliest with age and stay responsive to cognitive training (Salthouse, 2009).
