Detect Conflicts

A cognitive training game where you identify potential collisions between aircraft by detecting directional conflicts.

Preview: Watch Detect Conflicts in Action

Objective

Watch the triangular aircraft on screen and press the CONFLICT button when you spot aircraft on a collision course.

How It Works

This game tests your ability to rapidly analyze directional movement patterns and identify potential collisions. You must monitor multiple triangular aircraft as they move across the screen, determining which are on intersecting flight paths that could lead to collisions. The challenge increases as more aircraft appear simultaneously and when you need to detect multiple types of conflict directions (horizontal and vertical). Success requires developing systematic scanning techniques and quick pattern recognition while avoiding false alarms for near-misses.

Step-by-step Instructions

  • Observe the triangles (aircraft) that appear on screen
  • Look for aircraft that are heading toward each other
  • Press CONFLICT button if you spot a potential collision
  • If there's no conflict, let the timer run out

Skills You Develop

  • Visual scanning
  • Situational awareness
  • Quick decision making
  • Pattern recognition
  • Spatial reasoning

Coaching Tips

  • Pay attention to the initial instructions that specify which conflict types to watch for
  • Practice tracking multiple triangles simultaneously
  • Develop a systematic scanning technique
  • React quickly but avoid hasty decisions
