This app helps older adults train spatial awareness and may help slow brain aging.
How to play: Rotate the red dot to match the blue target dot. You can rotate up to 5 times.
🕐 Play about 10–15 minutes daily for best results.
This free cognitive training app was developed by Charlie Shine, Ph.D., a brain scientist, to help older adults maintain and strengthen visuospatial cognition — one of the earliest cognitive abilities to decline with age. By practicing daily dot-rotation tasks, users exercise the parietal and occipital lobes, which govern spatial reasoning, navigation, and object recognition.
Research in cognitive neuroscience shows that visuospatial training can strengthen neural pathways associated with attention, short-term memory, and executive function. Regular practice with spatial tasks has been linked to delayed onset of age-related cognitive decline and may contribute to dementia prevention when combined with a healthy lifestyle.
Each round places a blue target dot on a circular track. Your goal is to rotate the red dot to the same position using the Rotate Left and Rotate Right buttons. You have a maximum of five rotation moves per round. After rotating, press Check Match to see how close you are. Aim for a distance under 30 to score a point. Press Next Round to continue training.
