Schulte tables are a classic attention-training tool used by therapists, educators and speed-reading courses. The Gorbov variant (red-black) additionally trains attention switching. Printed tables shine wherever screens do not - with seniors, in therapy rooms and in group classes.
Frequently asked questions
What is a Schulte table?
A square grid with randomly scattered numbers (classically 5×5, numbers 1 to 25). The exercise is to point at them in order as fast as you can. Developed by the German psychiatrist Walter Schulte, the method has been used to assess and train attention for decades.
How do I practice with a Schulte table?
Keep your gaze fixed on the center of the grid and locate the numbers with your peripheral vision instead of scanning row by row. Find the numbers in order starting from 1, time every round and track your progress. 5-10 minutes a day is enough.
Which grid size should I choose?
Children start with 3×3 or 4×4, adults with the classic 5×5. Once you get below about 30 seconds on a 5×5, move to 6×6, 7×7 or the Gorbov variant. For low-vision users, enable the large-print option.
What is a Gorbov-Schulte table?
The red-black variant: black numbers are found in ascending order, red ones in descending order, alternating. It trains attention switching and has been used in occupational aptitude testing of train drivers and operators.
Are printed tables better than the app?
They complement each other. Paper works great in therapy rooms, classrooms and for anyone avoiding screens; the app times you automatically, tracks progress and adapts difficulty. Combining both gives the best results.
