What does this activity train?

By playing this game, we are training episodic memory, exercising auditory and spatial memory.

It consists of memorizing the location of sounds so they can later be identified in the exact spot, learning to associate each sound with the place where each sound event occurred.

This ability is crucial for their cognitive development, as it strengthens the ability to remember specific events and improve their auditory memory.

Furthermore, developing skills such as auditory memory from an early age is essential for learning and child development.
