Memory + manipulation
Interactive memory game that excer-size both rote memory and working memory using sequencing, or “linking thinking” utilizing pattern recognition and cognitive manilulation with flashcards.
With the flashcards the participants are asked to recreate the pattern on the board with the magnetic plugs and pockets and then using the twister cards to remanipu-late the patterns in their head.
