Visual Gnosis Activity for Adults

We introduce a new visual gnosis activity for adults! Sort the money is an exercise with high ecological validity so adults can become familiar with and identify the coins and banknotes of each country.

What does it involve?

Sort the money consists of sorting the coins and banknotes by their value. In this video we show you how to play:

What does this activity train?

This activity trains:

• Visual gnosis, since users have to detect, identify and differentiate each coin and banknote.
• Selective attention, because they are presented mixed together.

What is the objective of this exercise?

The objective of this exercise is to teach adults how to handle money, since users have to correctly identify all the coins and banknotes so they don’t confuse them.

High ecological validity

Sort the money  is an exercise with high ecological validity. In our daily life handling money is essential.

Ways to work with this visual gnosis activity for adults

Sort the money is a generator and, as with all NeuronUP generators, it generates unlimited, ecologically valid activities. The user will learn what to do (place the coins and banknotes in their place), but will never be able to memorize it, since it will always be a different activity.

And, like any generator, it has three ways to work:

1. Correction mode

The platform corrects the user after each action.

2. Free mode

The platform does not correct the user until the end of the exercise.

3. Personalized mode

This mode allows us to customize each generator to the needs and circumstances of each person.

You can customize:

3.1. General aspects:

• Operation: correction or free mode.
• Maximum errors.
• Maximum time.
• Whether or not you want a visible timer for the activity.
• Whether or not you want to include an inactivity warning.
• Modify the instructions.

3.2 Parameters:

• Type of currency (euro, dollar, pound, peso, etc.).
• Number of elements.
• Banknotes and coins to include.

3.3. Adaptability

You can choose whether movement is draggable or whether simply clicking on the coin or banknote selects it.

Available languages

This activity is available in Spanish, English, French and Portuguese.
