Virtual Reality Games Help Stroke Patients Recover Motor Functions

A new study suggests that virtual reality and other video games involving motion can enhance motor improvement after a stroke (SharpBrains.com 2011).
The Stroop Test is a perfect example of testing your attention ability. The Stroop test is used in neu­ropsy­cho­log­i­cal eval­u­a­tions to mea­sure men­tal vital­ity and flex­i­bil­ity, since per­form­ing well requires strong atten­tion and self-regulation capability.
What you do is read the colour you see in every word not the word you read.  Go!!!!!!
 
This is a fun warm up activity to do with your class or if you home school. It really is gym for the brain.
