🧩 What is the Central Executive?

It’s the control system of working memory. It decides what to pay attention to, switches focus when needed, and coordinates the phonological loop and visual‑spatial sketchpad.

🎯 How Abacus Trains the Central Executive

Task switching: Alternating between addition and subtraction sums. Inhibition: Resisting the urge to rush or look at answers. Planning: Deciding which bead to move first. Divided attention: Moving beads while listening to dictation. Self‑monitoring: Checking answers without prompts.
