What is the Learn the Names game?

A NeuronUP audio game where children match spoken names to photographs, training listening-based name-face association through playful exercises.

What memory does Learn the Names train?

Targets episodic memory, specifically auditory episodic memory, by requiring association of heard names with faces in situational recall tasks.

How are the game levels structured?

Features nine progressive levels from easiest to most difficult; users move up or down based on correct answers and mistakes for adaptive challenge.

What customization options are available?

Custom levels and parameters include number of items, item similarity, maximum errors, number of exercises, time limits, inactivity warnings, instruction text, and visible timer.

How does adaptability and item selection work?

Two selection methods are available: drag-and-drop by holding the mouse, or click-to-place, allowing adaptation to different motor and interaction preferences.

How can the game be applied in school or daily life?

Used in classrooms to practice matching classmates to voices, improving name recall, promoting social interaction, and building early mnemonic strategies for face-name memory.

What does this activity train?

Learning Names targets the episodic memory, specifically auditory episodic memory, with children in a playful way.

How does it do it? The user will associate people’s names with their respective photographs based solely on hearing the names.

Play by levels

As with all NeuronUP games, you can choose the level in which your user plays. In this case, there are nine levels, with the first level being the easiest and the ninth level the most difficult.

In addition, the user will move up or down levels depending on their correct answers or mistakes.

Activity customization

Custom levels can be created to adapt them to the user’s specific needs.

The number of items that appear on the screen,
similarity between the items,
maximum errors the user can make.

General Aspects

In addition, you will have the opportunity to choose other general aspects such as:

The number of exercises,
the maximum time to complete the activity,
whether you want to include an inactivity warning or not,

visible timer.

Adaptability

You can choose between two ways to select the items that appear on the screen:

The first will be selecting the item and dragging without releasing the mouse,
and the second way will be clicking on the item and placing it where the activity indicates.

Application in daily life

Within the school environment, children should practice associating their classmates with their voices.

This practice not only improves their ability to remember names, but also promotes greater social interaction.

By developing mnemonic strategies from an early age, solid foundations are laid for effective memory and an improved ability to associate faces and names in the future.
