Game 1 involves
finding an arrow on the screen and pressing an arrow on the keyboard to
indicate which direction the screen arrow is pointing (i.e., left or
right). Scoring is based on how fast and accurately the player
responds. Arrow appear on different types of backgrounds.

Game 2 requires
players to recognize and match groups of characters and figures. The
emphasis is on recognizing a group rather than a single arrow. Scoring
is based on response accuracy. Pictures of faces, a variety of symbols,
and letter sequences are shown on both static and video backgrounds. |

Game 3 involves
tasks that are increasingly similar to reading captions. The player
must recognize a group of figures, words, or phrases randomly placed on
the screen and must match them with materials presented on the bottom
of the screen. Scoring is based on response accuracy. |

Scores are saved, in
two formats for each player. Vision Adventures Top Scores screen shows
a player’s scoring record, keeping the high score for each level of
each game. Scores are also saved as a text file on the C: drive. These
files can be opened using Notepad, MS Word, or other programs that
