Description
Memory Games is software that aims to train and improve the working memory of students with concentration difficulties, poor working memory, attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), dyslexia, dyspraxia or other learning difficulties.
The software includes nine different exercises. The difficulty level of the exercises adjusts automatically following the student’s performance, so that the demand on the student’s working memory constantly increases.
The software comes with a Work Book which can be used by the student and trainer during training. It gives advice about setting up the training and includes a training calendar and motivational ideas. It can be accessed using a mouse, one or two switches and it provides scanning options, extra cursor, reward system and results for each student.
The games are:
· Cans: The cans light up in a particular order. Click on the cans in the same order as they light up.
· Treasure Chest: A series of numbers will be spoken. Click on the numbers in the same order. After a while the numbers must be selected in reverse order. (This only applies to Level 1.)
· The Ferris Wheel: As the Ferris Wheel spins the cars light up in a particular order. Try to remember the order and click on them in the same order.
