Think Ahead
Prefrontal cortex
Executive function and multi-step planning (Tower-of-London paradigm).
Platform
The catalog is organized around the canonical attention networks (alerting → executive → default-mode recovery; Posner & Petersen 1990; Raichle et al. 2001), plus the core cognitive domains, three motor modules, and the Safe Steps ADL program. Difficulty is capped to the patient's Rancho level for every module. See full Scientific Foundations →
The foundational cognitive domains. Most prescriptions start here.
Canonical cognitive paradigms — Shallice (Tower of London, 1982); Kessels et al. (Corsi block-tapping validation, 2000); Jaeggi et al. (N-Back, 2008); Etkin & Wager (2007). full references →
