What is a prepotent response?
The action your brain wants to launch automatically. Inhibition is the brake. False alarms on go-no-go index that brake under time pressure.
How is this different from attention control?
You can attend to the right object and still fail to withhold a tap. Models separate interference control from response inhibition, with messy overlap.
Is a high false-alarm rate ADHD?
No. Informal web games cannot diagnose. Many states (sleep, caffeine, boredom) raise false alarms.
What about Stroop?
Naming ink while ignoring the word is a classic interference task. The site version is a color-word toy, not the published Golden or Victoria manuals.
Can I train inhibition?
You can reduce errors on the trained mapping. That is not automatic evidence of a new personality or a new IQ.
What should I try?
Go-no-go, stroop-test, and flanker-lite. Read the score as a session, not as a clinical IQ or a moral grade.

What Is Attention Control?
Attention control is the skill of holding a current goal and filtering noise — a side conversation, a flashing tab, or a flanking arrow on a screen. It overlaps working memory and inhibition, yet it is not a synonym for IQ, and a browser hit count is not a diagnosis. Labs time tightly controlled trials; this site offers lite practice only, with no clinical battery behind the score.
What Is Attention Control? →IQ and Income
Surveys often find a positive correlation between cognitive-test scores and later earnings, but the path is noisy: education, health, networks, discrimination, and luck all sit in between. A correlation is not a paycheck forecast, and a higher score on a web game here is not a raise, a credential, or a clinical IQ. Group charts never tell you one person’s worth or hiring outcome.
IQ and Income →Visuospatial vs Verbal
Cognitive batteries often split visuospatial puzzles from verbal ones so you can see different strengths, not a single destiny. A high spatial sketch and a high vocabulary can diverge; neither pattern is a diagnosis. Online letter-span or hidden-figures lite games sample a slice of those families — they are not Wechsler indexes, not clinical IQ composites, and not career oracles.
Visuospatial vs Verbal →What Is Cognitive Flexibility?
Cognitive flexibility is the ability to update a rule when the world changes — switching from color to shape, or from one task set to another, without staying stuck. It is one executive-function toy, not a full intelligence profile. Task-switch lite on this site is original practice with no age norms, no standard error, and no clinical IQ attached to the hit count.
What Is Cognitive Flexibility? →Test Norming Basics
Norming is how a published test turns a raw hit count into a number you can compare with a reference group of the same age. Without a documented sample, a standard deviation, and a date, a web score is just a count. This site’s games are not normed batteries and must not be read as a clinical IQ, a school placement, or a medical finding.
