What does this activity train?
By performing this task, we are training episodic memory, exercising the auditory memorization of sounds we hear in our daily lives and associating each sound with a specific location.
Being able to identify and retain this information in the right place is fundamental to our daily functioning, since it promotes the ability to relate a sound to a specific place or event.
One of the major problems seen when cognitive decline begins is the loss of this ability. Therefore, it is essential to practice and create various mnemonic strategies to achieve better recall and sound-location association. Auditory attention and the processing of information capturí by this sense become a fundamental aspect to successfully accomplish this task.
