FAQ
遊戲規則、成績機制與認知科學依據
Focus Training 是什麼？
Focus Training 是酷西工作室（Kuccy Studio）開發的線上認知訓練遊戲，提供六種模式： 方格（視覺搜尋）、彈球（多目標動態追蹤）、轉圈（持續性空間搜尋）、Focus Tap（選擇性注意力）、 Flanker（執行控制）與記憶（視覺工作記憶）。每種模式針對不同的認知面向設計，附有全球公開排行榜。
方格模式和舒爾特方格（Schulte Table）有什麼關係？
方格模式的設計靈感來自舒爾特方格（Schulte Table）。 舒爾特方格以德國心理學家 Walter Schulte 命名，傳統版本為 5×5 方格， 內含隨機排列的 1 至 25 的數字，受測者須依序找出每個數字，用於測量視覺搜尋效率與注意力廣度。 Focus Training 的方格模式延伸了這個概念，提供 3×3 至 6×6 不同難度， 格子數量越多，視覺範圍越廣，搜尋難度呈非線性上升。
玩這個遊戲真的能改善注意力嗎？
在任務內學習（task-specific learning）方面，練習確實能顯著改善特定模式的成績， 反應時間縮短、錯誤率下降。至於這些改善能否廣泛遷移到日常生活的認知表現（far transfer）， 目前科學文獻的證據尚不一致。 Focus Training 定位為娛樂性工具，遊戲成績不構成任何認知能力的醫療評估或治療方案。 如有相關需求，請諮詢專業醫療或心理機構。
各模式的成績是如何排名的？
大多數模式以完成時間（秒）為主要排名依據，時間越短排名越前。 排行榜可依不同難度（例如方格的格子大小、彈球的球數）分頁查看， 確保不同設定的成績在同一基準下比較。所有成績透過後端 API 驗證後才計入排行榜。
排行榜有哪些防作弊措施？
成績透過 Cloudflare Workers 後端 API 驗證後才寫入資料庫， 每筆記錄均附有時間戳記與完整性檢查，前端無法直接修改資料庫內容。 我們保留審查、移除可疑成績或封鎖相關裝置的權利，詳見使用條款。
排行榜資料儲存在哪裡？
排行榜成績儲存於 Cloudflare D1（SQLite 相容的分散式資料庫）， 資料不用於廣告定向或第三方共享。 個人裝置上也會在瀏覽器 localStorage 中保留本機排行榜記錄， 即使離線也能查看個人歷史成績。 詳情請參閱隱私權政策。
每天訓練多久最理想？
建議每次 10–15 分鐘，休息後可再進行 1–2 輪， 而非一次連續操作超過 30 分鐘。 長時間連續遊玩容易因注意力疲勞導致表現下降，也會降低學習效益。 若單次成績顯著低於平均，通常反映當下的疲勞或環境干擾，而非能力的退步。
Flanker 任務是什麼？
Flanker 任務最早由 Eriksen & Eriksen（1974）發表， 是認知心理學中廣泛使用的執行控制測量工具。 受試者需判斷中央刺激（如箭頭）的方向，同時忽略兩側方向可能相反的干擾刺激（flankers）。 「不一致」試驗（flankers 與目標方向相反）會產生反應競爭， 必須動用前額葉執行控制系統壓制錯誤反應。 Focus Training 的 Flanker 模式共 24 題，分三個難度階段，干擾強度逐步提升。
記憶模式和 N-back 任務有什麼差異？
N-back 任務是工作記憶研究中常用的實驗範式， 要求受試者判斷目前出現的刺激是否與 N 個步驟前的刺激相同， 測量工作記憶的即時更新能力。 Focus Training 的記憶模式屬於「空間位置一次性記憶再認」—— 玩家在有限時間內記憶 9 個格子的數字位置後，格子翻面，再依序回憶作答。 兩者均訓練視覺工作記憶，但 N-back 強調連續序列的即時更新， 記憶模式強調空間配置的完整保持與提取。
適合哪些年齡層使用？
本遊戲適合具備基本數字識別能力（一般約 6 歲以上）且能使用網頁瀏覽器的使用者， 無年齡上限。各模式難度設計以挑戰性和趣味性為主。 兒童使用時建議由家長陪同。 本遊戲不適用於特定認知障礙的診斷或治療目的。
排行榜成績會定期清除嗎？
我們保留調整最低成績門檻、移除可疑成績或在服務重大更新時清除排行榜的權利。 日常情況下不會無故清除成績。詳情請參閱使用條款。
網站完全免費嗎？
是的，Focus Training 目前對所有使用者完全免費， 網站透過廣告維持營運。使用廣告攔截工具可能影響廣告顯示，但不影響遊戲功能與排行榜存取。
FAQ
Game rules, scoring, and cognitive science background
What is Focus Training?
Focus Training is an online cognitive training game developed by Kuccy Studio, featuring six modes: Grid (visual search), Bounce (multiple object tracking), Circle (sustained spatial search), Focus Tap (selective attention), Flanker (executive control), and Memory (visuospatial working memory). Each mode targets a distinct cognitive dimension and competes on a global public leaderboard.
How does Grid mode relate to the Schulte Table?
Grid mode is inspired by the Schulte Table, named after German psychologist Walter Schulte. The traditional format is a 5×5 grid containing the numbers 1 through 25 in random order; participants must locate each number in sequence as quickly as possible, measuring visual search efficiency and attentional breadth. Focus Training extends this concept across grid sizes from 3×3 to 6×6, so difficulty scales with the number of cells.
Can playing this game actually improve attention?
Task-specific learning is well-documented: practice reliably reduces completion time and error rates within each mode. Whether those gains transfer broadly to everyday cognitive performance (far transfer) is an open question — the scientific literature on this point is mixed. Focus Training is an entertainment tool and does not constitute a medical assessment or cognitive rehabilitation programme. Consult a qualified professional for clinical needs.
How are scores ranked on the leaderboard?
Most modes rank by completion time in seconds, shortest first. Leaderboards are segmented by difficulty (e.g., grid size for Grid mode, ball count for Bounce mode) so scores are always compared within the same configuration. All submissions are validated by the backend API before being written to the database.
What anti-cheating measures does the leaderboard use?
Scores are validated by a Cloudflare Workers backend API before being written to the database. Each entry carries a server-side timestamp and integrity check; the client cannot write directly to the database. We reserve the right to review, remove, or block suspicious entries — see the Terms of Service for details.
Where is leaderboard data stored?
Leaderboard scores are stored in Cloudflare D1, a SQLite-compatible distributed database. This data is not used for ad targeting or shared with third parties. Your device also stores a local leaderboard in browser localStorage so you can review your personal history offline. See our Privacy Policy for full details.
How long should I train each day?
We suggest 10–15 minutes per session, with breaks between rounds rather than a single uninterrupted 30-minute block. Extended continuous play leads to attentional fatigue, which reduces both performance and learning benefit. A single session score that drops well below your average usually reflects fatigue or distraction, not a real change in ability.
What is the Flanker task?
The Flanker task was introduced by Eriksen & Eriksen (1974) and is a standard laboratory measure of executive control. Participants identify the direction of a central stimulus (typically an arrow) while ignoring flanking stimuli that may point the opposite way. Incongruent trials — where flankers and target conflict — trigger response competition that requires prefrontal inhibitory control to resolve correctly. Focus Training's Flanker mode presents 24 trials across three escalating difficulty stages.
How does Memory mode differ from the N-back task?
The N-back task is a standard working memory paradigm in which participants judge whether the current stimulus matches one presented N steps earlier, measuring continuous updating of working memory. Focus Training's Memory mode is a one-shot spatial recall task: players memorise the positions of nine numbers in a 3×3 grid, then reproduce the sequence from memory after the cards are flipped face-down. Both engage visuospatial working memory, but N-back stresses real-time sequential updating whereas Memory mode stresses complete spatial encoding and retrieval of a single layout.
What age groups is this suitable for?
The game is suitable for anyone with basic number recognition (typically from around age 6) who can use a web browser. There is no upper age limit. Children should play with parental supervision. This game is not intended for diagnosing or treating any cognitive condition.
Will leaderboard scores be wiped periodically?
We reserve the right to adjust score thresholds, remove suspicious entries, or clear leaderboard data during major service updates. Under normal circumstances, scores are not cleared without reason. See the Terms of Service.
Is Focus Training free to use?
Yes, Focus Training is completely free for all users. The site is supported by advertising. Using an ad blocker may suppress ad display but does not affect game functionality or leaderboard access.
