Brains, Games and memory? - Innovative Cognitive Training System to improve working memory.

Overview

Many students feel mentally tired during school, which can affect their focus, memory, and coordination - this is called cognitive fatigue. To explore this, I first researched how the brain learns and responds to stress. Then I tried approaching it in different ways: a digital game called “The Vault” and a physical, multi-sensory cube with lights, sounds, and touch-based challenges. I tested students aged 11+ by measuring their basic intellectual skills with the cube, and compared their results to a group that did not use it. The group that used the cube showed greater improvement, with more successful catches after the activity, compared to the control group. This research proves that combining physical interaction with engaging challenges can help improve brain skills in a fun and effective way for students and adults.
