    Task focus

    Each task format is associated with these cognitive categories:

    executive functions

    Set of processes for planning, organizing, initiating, and controlling behavior. Includes planning, working memory, inhibition, and cognitive flexibility.

    visual perception

    Processing of visual information: recognition of shapes, colors, spatial relations, objects, and faces.

    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.

    Who it's for

    • Educators and tutors — as material for lessons, review, and home practice.
    • Speech, special-education, and development specialists — for children and adults; parameters adjust to the student's level.
    • Parents — to receive clear assignments and leave comments about completion.
