Seize the Keywords

Game Description

This exercise consists of reading a 10-line story and memorizing the order in which all the verbs appear. If you are attentive enough and understand the story, it is easy to remember the logical order of the verbs (as verbs imply action). Then, all the verbs are listed at random and you are asked to place them in the correct order, as found in the text.

Cognitive Function Exercised

The left tempo-parietal region is the main area at play in this game. This task exercises your linguistic aptitude and your episodic memory. The aim is to train your written comprehension skills and your memory for events, times, places and associated emotions by focusing on the key words and finding the logical links between them.

Benefit to Daily Life

This exercise will train your comprehension (receptive language) skills and provide practice putting a sequence of events in order so as to remember better. For example, whether you are trying to understand a difficult passage in a novel or recounting an important event, you will need these skills.
