Individuals will be challenged to develop their thinking speed as they are required to respond faster and faster in order to win. While an individual's difficulty level is automatically adjusted based on his or her performance, it can be easily modified when necessary. Distraction stimuli can also be added to reinforce increased focus and the ability to stay on task. Each round must be completed for grades to be saved in single player mode. Please note that no grades are saved in two player mode. Two player mode only records which Player (1 or 2) won the match after three rounds are completed. A training session is completed only when the program is stopped and then removed from memory. If the program is left open in the background and it is selected, then the last session started will be continued. You can try out all of the games and their features for free for 60 minutes. If you like the games, you can make a one-time purchase to unlock all of the games for unlimited use. Otherwise, you can continue to play the "Scan" game for free.
