Activity Description
A memory challenge has just begun! Look carefully at the cards that are face up. Try to remember where each object is. When you think you remember them well, click and the cards will turn over. Now, try to find and open the pairs of cards that have the same images. An educational activity that exercises working memory and attention. Children must memorize the location of certain cards on the screen. When they feel ready, they press the “ready” button and the cards turn over. Then they must select the correct pair of images. At the same time, they practice spatial awareness, orientation, and decision-making.
Targeted cognitive skills
- Short Term Memory: The ability to the reproduce, recognise, or recall a limited amount of material after a period of about 10 to 30 seconds.
- Working Memory: The ability to hold information in consciousness for adaptive use. This can include information from all sensory modalities, verbal and nonverbal ones. Working memory is conceptualized to include two separable components: maintenance of information and manipulation of information. Maintenance of information includes memory for verbal information, spatial information and other information (including emotional) across multiple sensory channels. Manipulation of information is the process of operating on information stored in working memory storage.
- Decision making: The cognitive process of choosing between two or more alternatives, ranging from the relatively clear cut (e.g., ordering a meal at a restaurant) to the complex (e.g., selecting a mate).
- Logical reasoning: Logical or deductive reasoning involves using a given set of facts or data to deduce other facts by reasoning logically. It involves drawing specific conclusions based on premises.
- Spatial orientation: The ability to perceive and adjust one’s location in space in relation to objects in the external environment.
- Relation between elements in space /spatial ability: The skill required to orient or perceive one’s body in space or to detect or reason about relationships within or between objects in space.
