About PlayMemorize Signal Switch
Signal Switch is a task-switching game. Every round shows one leaf-shaped signal tile that both points somewhere and drifts somewhere · and the tile's colour tells you which of those two questions you are being asked. Green: where does it point? Orange: where does it drift?
How a round works. Read the colour first, then the tile. The solid triangle shows where the signal points; the small streaming chevrons show where it drifts. On a green tile you answer the triangle; on an orange tile you answer the chevrons. Easy rounds often agree · the tile points where it drifts · but as difficulty rises the two directions conflict almost every time, so applying the wrong rule gives the wrong answer exactly when it counts.
What it trains. Cognitive flexibility · the executive skill of holding two response rules in mind and switching between them on a cue. Task-switching cost (the slowdown right after the rule changes) is a standard measure of executive control, and repeated practice at clean, cued switching is how you shave it down.
It grows with you. Difficulty raises the share of conflict rounds from about half to all of them, so there is never a stretch where one rule can run on autopilot.

FAQ
-
What is Signal Switch?
A task-switching game. One tile both points in a direction and drifts in a direction; its colour decides which question you answer. Green asks where it points, orange asks where it drifts. One wrong answer ends the streak. -
How do I tell pointing from drifting?
The solid triangle is the pointer; the little streaming chevrons are the drift. They often disagree on purpose · that disagreement is what makes the colour rule matter. -
What does it train?
Cognitive flexibility · holding two response rules in mind and switching between them on a colour cue. The slowdown people show right after a rule changes is a classic laboratory measure of executive control, and practice reduces it. -
Any strategy tips?
Always read the colour before you look at the arrows. Players who parse the directions first commit to an answer before they know which question is being asked. -
Does it get harder?
Yes · the pointing and drifting directions conflict more and more often as difficulty rises, until every round punishes the wrong rule.
