What does this activity target?

By performing this task we are training the episodic memory, exercising the memorization of the names of people of all ages.

Being able to retain the names of the people around us is essential for interacting in society, and one of the major problems observed 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 face-name association.

Since in our daily life it is more common to hear the names of the people we interact with than to see them written, auditory attention and the processing of the information captured by this sense become a fundamental aspect for successfully accomplishing this task. It is for this reason that this version of the previous activity Remember the Names was created.
