Neuroscience for Kids - Memory and Learning



Here is an experiment to test your memory.

On-line Short Term Memory Game

Grades K-12

Think you have a good memory?


Then take this little Short Term Memory Test

When you have completed and scored this Brief Memory Test, use the link at the bottom of that last page, to come back here for a similar Memory Test, only this time you will have ADHD! Check it out and see what you think and feel!

Second Memory Test with ADHD

Okay. Ready for the second brief memory test as a person with mild ADHD? If you read the information we provided about kids and adults with ADHD, then you already know how poor their memory can be and how highly distractable they are.

Remember, use the sheet again to write down your responses so you can compare.

Learning

Simply "A-Maze-ing"

For Grades K-6

Let's see if we can demonstrate some fast learning.

Print out (or download) this Maze. (Click on the maze, then save the big maze or just print it out). Get at least 3 copies of the maze. When you have the maze, have a friend keep track of the amount of time it takes you to complete the maze...go from START to FINISH on the maze.

Record the amount of time it takes you. Then, do the SAME maze over again on a new copy of the maze. Record the amount of time it take you to complete it. Then do it a third time and even a fourth time if you want. Does it take you less time to complete the maze on the second, third and fourth time? I hope so...you are learning!!
