    language functions

    Comprehension and production of speech, vocabulary, grammar, semantics, phonological processing.

    logical reasoning

    Identifying patterns, making inferences, deduction and induction.

    working memory

    Temporary storage and manipulation of information for current tasks. Limited capacity (7±2 items).

    How to use it

    1. 1Open the exercise and adjust the difficulty to the student's current level — usually it is better to start slightly easier than feels right.
    2. 2Read the rules. They are short, usually 10–20 seconds.
    3. 3Use the generated task as structured educational material, with accuracy and clarity prioritized over speed.
    4. 4Compare the answer with the reference and leave a human-written comment if the task is assigned through the student cabinet.
