BrainBall Task 2.1
ColorCodes
The goal of this memory game is to associate strings of characters to colors.
Each of the colors in the game will be assigned a random string of character such as ‘AE34J0′. You need to learn to couple these strings to each of the colors and then click on the appropriate color each time its matching string appears. To view the strings for each color, roll over the color key at the top of the playing board.
Your score is based on how many matches you make versus how many times you need to view the key. Ideally, you just want to look at the key just once, but you may view it as many times as you need to remember the pairings.
2 more memory games
I just added two more memory exercises to the Memory Workout Program. Eventually, I will have 10+ games in this section, but the next 5 won’t be coming along for a little while yet. Enjoy!
Word Order – watch a sequence of words and remember the order in which they appeared
Color Match – like the classic Memory game, only you are working with colors and two different sets of tiles
Remember, with any of these memory exercises you can play them at 5 different difficulty levels depending on how much of a challenge you want. You may also adjust the speed of the games if you’d like.
Also, don’t forget about the other memory games, exercises and tests elsewhere on PlayWithYourMind.com. Check out Retroception, ReMemory, Doors of Memory, MemorEyes, Window Memory & Scheduling
Spatial Memory
The object of this memory game is to remember the location of each of the shapes.
You will be presented with a series of shapes arranged randomly on the screen and given a few moments to memorize their location. Then, the pieces will moved to the top left corner and you will have to drag them and place them as they were originally.
Your score is based on how close you are with each shape. Once you hit ‘All Done’ to submit your guesses, the actual locations will flash briefly so you can compare
Object Memory
In this memory exercise, you will be presented with a group of colored shapes and asked to remember them. At this point, the shapes are in the form of humans in various poses.
You will have some time to commit these shapes into your memory before they vanish. You will then see a grid of similar pieces and you must click on the ones presented in step 1.
Your score is based on how many target pieces you find and how many mistakes you make. Your progress is displayed in the top right corner.
Mental Fitness Tips
Here is an article from Pakistan’s Mensa chapter on how to keep the brain fit, called “How to Improve Your Memory & Exercise Your Brain?” Here’s tip #2
2. Keep your brain active. The brain is not a muscle, but regularly “exercising” the brain actually does keep it growing and spurs the development of new nerve connections that can help improve memory. By developing new mental skills—especially complex ones such as learning a new language or learning to play a new musical instrument—and challenging your brain with puzzles and games you can keep your brain active and improve its physiological functioning.
