What are printable memory exercises?

Printable memory exercises are paper or digital activities that train memory using reusable generators. They create multiple versions, prevent memorization of specific items, and are designed for use with children, adults, and older adults.

What are memory generators in NeuronUP?

Memory generators produce unlimited, eco-friendly activity variants that avoid repetition. They generate infinite versions of the same task, can be printed or executed digitally, and are highly customizable to include meaningful stimuli.

Which printable memory exercises are included?

Examples include Greater than and less than (numeric sequences), Organization by Categories (word sorting), Tidy Up the Mess (image categorization for children), and Pairs of elements and categories (word-to-category matching).

How can printable memory exercises be customized?

Customization allows editing instructions, selecting number ranges and formats (integers, decimals, negatives), choosing general or specific categories, setting element counts, and adjusting difficulty and the number of exercises.

Are printable memory exercises suitable for children and adults?

Yes. Activities are adaptable for all ages: image-based generators suit children, while word and number generators suit adults. Parameters can be tailored to each user’s abilities and therapeutic goals.

What cognitive skills do printable memory exercises target?

These exercises primarily target semantic memory through categorization and matching, while also training attention, numeric processing, and working memory depending on the chosen generator.
