Any good Task-Switching games you know of?
UOchris1
those at mind360 and luminosity. I did some digging in some older
threads and I really liked this one: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/5016437/LogicalComparisons.swf
However, the only problem with Logical Comparisons is that I am not
sure if I have noticed a glitch where it spits back the wrong answer
every now and again. If any of you try it, let me know if you find
the same.
I did find a decent free stroop game for iPhone, which has an element
of task switching (and rates you globally against other players):

Appreciate it. Thanks.

I consider combination variable
n back a task switching game (in bw). In fact it would be interesting
to see if training task switching on lumosity can improve performance
in this mode.

or even 32bit as far as I know. I got the game installed in Win XP
using a VMware. But it's a little laggy for some reason even though I
have I turned off all the networks like Paul suggested. Does anyone
know how I can make the game less laggy?

sure why i havent.

this might be a little off and I cannot really justify it. But, if
training means taxing, I'd suggest some Air Traffic Control game.
There might be some learning involved, but I allways enjoy getting to
know some jobs better.
Depending on the frequency of departure and arrival, thing can get
really multitasking, depending on what position you'll take, mental
rotation and extrapolating 2d to 3d.
I cannot really suggest a game. The latest I tried were, Tracoon (and 2)
and Bao Tower, but the first is DOS, the second Win 3.11. Still, that
doesn't really matter. The latter was also usable with voice-commands
with some extra software. Tracoon I still play once in a while.
Another I tried, but lacking a manual, was ATCSimulator, but it seemed
nice. There are even more sophisticated.

some benefit from playing Brain Shift. Although not much, I feel like
my multitasking, willpower and ability to overcome distraction is
briefly improved shortly after playing Brain shift. I'm not sure if
this is permanent though.

that might be of some interrest:
"How useful is executive control training? Age differences in near and far transfer of task-switching training" (Julia Karbach, Jutta Kray, 2009)
"Although executive functions can be improved by training, little is
known about the extent to which these training-related benefits can be
transferred to other tasks, or whether this transfer can be modulated by
the type of training. This study investigated lifespan changes in near
transfer of task-switching training to structurally similar tasks and
its modulation by verbal self-instructions and variable training, as
well as far transfer to structurally dissimilar ‘executive’ tasks and
fluid intelligence. Three age groups (8–10; 18–26; 62–76 years of age)
were examined in a pretest-training-posttest design. We found near
transfer of task-switching training in all age groups, especially in
children and older adults. Near transfer was enhanced in adults and
impaired in children when training tasks were variable. We also found
substantial far transfer to other executive tasks and fluid intelligence
in all age groups, pointing to the transfer of relatively general
executive control abilities after training."
One might be tempted to read the full pdf, to check out what transferred
where:
http://psychology.uwo.ca/undergraduate/psych3441G/Karbach2009Developmental%20ScienceHow%20useful%20is%20executive%20control.pdf
However, I cannot tell about the quality of the study.
Another thing, that ATC stuff is really only a wild guess, I didnt found
studies on that.

Anyhow, I appreciate the suggestion. Its good to have options--I tend
to look at different games/programs having different component useful
for training different things. - Chris

The collective evidence from a number of such studies suggests that the bilingual experience improves the brain’s so-called executive function — a command system that directs the attention processes that we use for planning, solving problems and performing various other mentally demanding tasks. These processes include ignoring distractions to stay focused, switching attention willfully from one thing to another and holding information in mind — like remembering a sequence of directions while driving.
