This exercise aims to make you conceive and use a memorization strategy. The brain houses our mind and our memories, and we rely on its information-processing capacities when we set out to learn something new. Most available evidence suggests that the hippocampus and other related structures carry out memory functions in the temporal lobe. The hippocampus and the amygdala, nearby, also form part of the limbic system, a pathway in the brain. 

This highly visual exercise targets the user’s ability to remember the objects they have seen and their location in space. We use these same skills when we remember where things are located, for example, where a pan is in the kitchen or where we placed our keys. Spatial memory is an essential part of everyday life.

You can modify:

• The number of pieces (5, 7, 10, 12, 15, 18, or 20),
• The number of shapes (1, 2, or 3)
• The number of colors (1, 2, or 3)
• The memorization time (unlimited, 90, 60, 45, or 30 seconds)
• The time limit (unlimited, 90, 60, 45, or 30 seconds)
• The number of tries (1, 2, or 3)
• The presence or not of a distraction task (yes or no).
