Elephant Memory

In this exercise, the user must memorize a list of words and then recall the memorized words from several lists. 

Brain Areas Engaged 
how elephant memory engages the brain.

Learn more about this exercise:

The central brain region involved is the left temporal lobe. The functions of the left temporal lobe include low-level perception, sound processing, comprehension, naming, verbal memory, and other language functions, such as the meanings of words.

The hippocampus is the center of memory in the brain, with connections throughout the brain to vital cognitive regions. Broca’s area in the left frontal lobe is responsible for language production, while Wernicke’s area in the left temporal lobe is responsible for language comprehension. 

These two essential language areas have connections to the hippocampus. The user will have to engage these memory and language areas of the brain to develop effective strategies to memorize, recognize, and recall words.

Elephant memory requires the user to remember and find the memorized words in a list. We use these same skills when we recall a shopping list, tasks someone gave us, or the name of a favorite product in the store. 

You can modify:

  • 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)
  • The time for recall (unlimited, 120, 90, 75, 60, or 40 seconds).
