Train Your Brain's "Brakes"
Inhibitory control, or impulse control, is a core part of our brain's executive functions. It's the "brake" pedal that allows us to pause and think. The Go/No-Go game is a scientifically-backed method to directly train and strengthen this crucial mental muscle.
Why Is Impulse Control Training Important for ADHD?
Core of Executive Function
Inhibitory control is a fundamental part of executive function. It enables us to resist impulses, control our attention, and make thoughtful decisions. For individuals with ADHD, this ability is often weaker.
A Scientifically Proven Approach
The Go/No-Go task is a classic method in cognitive science. By requiring the brain to act or inhibit responses under specific conditions, it effectively trains the prefrontal cortex's inhibitory control.
Training Tips
Stay Relaxed, Trust Your Instincts
Don't overthink—let your brain naturally recognize the target.
Focus on the Green Circle
Keep the target shape in mind and ignore distractions.
Don't Try to Predict
React only to what you see; avoid preparing your response in advance.
Mistakes Are Normal
Inhibitory control takes time to develop. Don't get discouraged by mistakes.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the goal of this game?
▼
The goal is to train your inhibitory control. You need to react quickly when you see a green circle, and suppress the urge to click for other shapes or colors. This helps improve impulse control in daily life.
Why are there distractors with different shapes and colors?
▼
Distractors increase the task's difficulty and simulate real-life complexity. Your brain learns to quickly identify targets among various stimuli and suppress responses to non-targets, improving selective attention.
What if my reaction speed is slow?
▼
Reaction speed varies from person to person. Accuracy is more important than speed. With practice, your reaction time will naturally improve. Focus on identifying the target correctly first; speed will follow as you get better.
What's the difference between Level 1 and Level 2?
▼
Level 1 shows only one shape at a time, training basic Go/No-Go responses. Level 2 displays multiple shapes simultaneously, greatly increasing visual search difficulty and training selective attention and inhibitory control in complex environments.
