About This Game

Word Sprint is a verbal fluency task — you generate as many words as possible within a given category or starting with a given letter in 60 seconds. Verbal fluency is routinely tested in neuropsychological assessments.

What It Trains

• Verbal fluency: Rapidly accessing and producing words from memory
• Semantic memory: Organization and retrieval of category knowledge
• Executive function: Self-monitoring and strategy generation

The Science

Verbal fluency declines are among the earliest markers of cognitive aging and neurodegeneration. Both semantic fluency (category-based) and phonemic fluency (letter-based) are sensitive to changes in the frontal lobe and temporal-parietal networks.
