Word Searches
(NDIS Support Resource Library)
Word Search puzzles help your brain with pattern recognition, a key cognitive tool. Pattern recognition is the brain’s ability to find order and create meaning from data around us. Word Searches can also help improve your vocabulary.
And as a bonus, when you find a word in a Word Search puzzle, the brain rewards you with a surge of dopamine! Touted as the “reward molecule”, neuroscientists are linking dopamine to perseverance, a sense of accomplishment, and keeping motivation levels up in other areas of your life!
