- Choose its match on the board. You can pause whenever you need a break.
Play & Learning
Skills practiced
- Visual scanning
Search across a group of objects to find a particular target.
- Selective attention
Focus on relevant visual information while ignoring distracting shapes.
- Visual discrimination
Compare visual features to distinguish the target from similar-looking objects.
- Response selection
Decide which object matches the target and select it.
How this game works
Children search a field of visual distractors for a specified target shape. As levels progress, more distractors and increasingly similar objects make the visual search more challenging.
Research behind the activity
Visual-search tasks are widely used by researchers to study how children select relevant visual information while ignoring distractions. Research shows that visual-search and selective-attention abilities continue developing throughout childhood. Research into attention training also suggests that improvements are often strongest for trained or closely related tasks, while broader transfer to everyday abilities is less certain.
These studies examine the underlying activities and cognitive processes. They did not test Chuchiroo games and should not be interpreted as evidence that playing this game produces broader cognitive improvements.
