System and method for enhancing cognition using continuous performance with multiple stimulus streams. A target correspondence is presented. A continuous sequence of stimulus groups is presented one stimulus group at a time, where each stimulus group includes at least two stimuli, and where each stimulus group is presented for a specified duration, and separated by a specified inter-stimulus-interval (ISI). For each stimulus group in the sequence: the subject is required to respond to the group, indicating when all the stimuli in the group correspond in accordance with the target correspondence, and refraining from indicating when the stimuli do not correspond, correctness/incorrectness of the response is determined, and the duration and/or the ISI adjusted accordingly, using an adaptive procedure, e.g., a continuous performance maximum likelihood procedure. The presenting the target correspondence, presenting the sequence of stimulus groups, and the requiring/determining/adjusting for each group, are iterated to improve cognition of the subject.
