Alternating Attention Tasks: Colors and Objects

Alternating attention tasks for cognitive-linguistic therapy: Our brain is frequently asked to alternate our attention from multiple points. For example, balancing a checkbook requires us to attend to both the pile of receipts and the ledger. Other examples include: listening to someone talk while taking notes; reading a recipe while cooking a meal; talking to a friend while filling a water bottle. This task is meant to challenge your brain to alternate between two different things at the same time.
