Your perception supplies your various cognitive skills with their raw data. But as the old saying goes, “garbage in, garbage out”.

If your perception provides you with incomplete or biased data, your conclusions are likely to be flawed. Improving your perception provides your cognitive skills with better data, and that will improve your results!

These three Brain Games exercise three somewhat different muscles, but all of them strengthen your perception:

  • What’s Important? – Can I notice significant details amid the noise?
  • What Happened Here? – Can I distinguish observation from interpretation?
  • What’s Different? – Can I detect changes, relationships, and patterns?

Check out these Brain Games to improve your perception:

What’s the Difference? – Sometimes it’s not so much the details that you notice that are important, as it is the changes that are important.

What’s So Important? – Differentiating important details from unimportant ones is a valuable skill in many situations. This Brain Game will test your ability to look at a plethora of details and determine which ones are important.

What Happened Here? – This Brain Game tests how accurately you interpret the details that you notice.
