A game to promote Sustained Attention


Mushroom Hunters was developed on the work of Posner and Petersen (1990) and the Computerized Continuous Performance Task (CCPT; by Rosvold, Mirsky, Sarason, Bransome, & Beck, 1956).


It is designed to improve sustained attention by training the cognitive system to activate and maintain attention at an optimal level for prolonged periods while simultaneously inhibiting the response system.
