This module includes perfect exercises to improve verbal memory. It also helps build a strategy (place words into categories for example) to effectively remember a list of words.
Elephant Memory
The task
The saying that elephants never forget is a true fact. Will the patient be able to build up memory over a few seconds or minutes and hold on to it? In this task, the user is presented with a grid of words to memorize. He will then be asked to recognize these same words from a longer list that also contains distraction or decoy words.
What it trains
In this exercise, the patient will practice his episodic memory through verbal material. Indeed, he has to store and retrieve several words. It also helps him build a strategy (place words into categories for example) to effectively remember a list of words without trying to learn it by heart as it takes too much mental effort.
Parameters
The parameters that can be selected are the number of words to memorize (6, 9, 12, 15, 20, or 25), the variety of themes (small, average or large), the memorization time (unlimited, 120, 90, 75, 60, or 40 seconds), and the time for recall (unlimited, 120, 90, 75, 60, or 40 seconds).
Number of Unique Configurations
Over 640 unique game configurations and significant data set depth.
Words, Where are You ?
The task
This exercise consists of memorizing the location of several words on a grid, and then recalling them in the same spot in a grid as the user has seen them previously.
What it trains
Verbal memory is an essential skill for remembering conversations, doing crossword puzzles or keeping track of written material of any sort such as shopping lists or key elements of a novel. Further, we rely upon spatial memory when we try to recall the location of shops on a street, products in a grocery store or a friend's house in a neighborhood. This exercise trains the patient’s visual and spatial memory and perception as it is about creating associations between two types of information, a word and its location. He needs to build a strategy to make a comprehensive association that would make their memorization easier. Then, he needs to be attentive and stay focused on the visual and spatial information.
Parameters
The parameters that can be selected are the type of word list (words of the same category or words without connections), the number of words (2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, or 10), the size of the grid (2x2, 3x2, 3x3, 3x4, 4x4, 4x5, or 5x5), the modalities of the words presentation (one after another, at the same time, or one by one), the memorization time per word (unlimited, 6, or 4 seconds), and the type of help (squares and words, squares selected, words selected, or no selection). The response time in the recall stage is unlimited.
