EMPOWER project: App Sustained Attention Game

This activity is based on the Comprehensive Continuous Task designed to improve the function of Sustained Attention by training the cognitive system to activate and maintain attention at an optimal level for prolonged periods of time while simultaneously inhibiting the response system.
The task involves a long series of stimuli presented sequentially with the participant instructed to respond as fast as possible only when a pre-specified target is presented, while withholding responses to other stimuli appearing on the screen.
This activity has three levels with three sub-levels each, where the main target is always a specific mushrooms and the distractors change depending on the level. Also, the position where the stimulis can appear are different depending on the sub-level selected. Between the possible distractors you can find flowers, small branches, butterflies and another types of mushrooms
The app controls the performance of the child, measuring the correct and incorrect answers both when the target is present and not present and the response time for each trial (calculating after the mean response time for the game).
The Sustained Attention Game is one of the nine games that the Empower Application will provide to work in Executive Functions with children with neurodevelopmental conditions.
