Hi,

I'm new to this group so I'm sorry if this question has been asked before.

Does anyone know any suitable computerized brain trainings, particularly task-switching, for primary school aged children 6-8 years old? I'm hoping this will help improve my 7yo child's Executive Functions, based on Karbach & Kray 2009 research.

I found a few implementations of task switching (and dual n back) but they seem to be designed for adults. 

Some dual n back programs have open source so it's possible to change the source code ourselves to make them more suitable for children (many more levels, and much slower required response time, etc.) But I haven't found any task-switching program that have open source. Does anyone know any?

Hi Brainturk, 

If you are here, I purchased your iPad app, is it possible to modify your task-switching program to make it suitable for children, say make it 100 levels, response time requirement range from super slow gradually to fast, and give a progress report, etc?

Thank you all. I'm excited to have found this discussion group.
