• Control the difficulty 

  Decide which hints are given.  You can select which hints are displayed (first letter of answer, etc.).  Showing the first letter of the answer is a great way to make the program easier. Set the number of choices displayed in multiple-choice mode (2,3, or 4 choices)

  Results of each session are saved, to a file.  You can print this or copy it into other documentation.  Limited to a single patient. For unlimited patients, see Pro version

• Repetition Practice

  Repeat the first 20 questions 5 times, or repeat as many questions as you like as many times as you like.  You can also control the length of the lesson without repetition, such as having a 25 exercise lesson.  (Bungalow programs have so many exercises we've found that even one lesson can be too much for a patient to do in one sitting.Memory training
  You can set the program to display the cue to display temporarily or until they press any key.  Then the cue disappears, and the question appears.
