Cognitive screening

Space Memory

A game-based cognitive profile for how children learn

Space Memory turns memory, attention, processing speed and reasoning tasks into a child-friendly space mission. Parents and educators receive a clear profile of strengths and development areas — not a label, but practical next steps for learning.

Problem

When a child struggles, adults often see the result — but not the reason.

?
“Distracted?”

Maybe attention is not the issue. Maybe the task overloaded working memory.

!
“Not trying?”

Maybe the child has never been shown how to memorise and recall information.

A profile, not a label

Space Memory helps make the invisible learning process visible.

Solution
01
Test through play

A stressful assessment becomes a short space mission with memory, attention, speed and reasoning tasks.

02
Interpret transparently

The current approach uses transparent rule-based scoring and screening-level indicators rather than black-box diagnostic claims.

03
Turn results into action

The profile leads to practical recommendations: shorter instructions, visual checklists, timed breaks and personalised practice.

Methodology

Classic cognitive paradigms, wrapped in a child-friendly experience.

Digit
Verbal working memory
Corsi
Visuospatial memory
Go / No-Go
Attention and inhibition
Matrix
Reasoning
jsPsych

The battery is built on jsPsych, an open-source framework for behavioural research, and uses documented task paradigms. The product presents results as screening-level indicators, not as medical diagnosis.

Who it is for

For parents, educators and schools that want to understand how a child learns before deciding what support is needed.

👤
Parents

A clear first step when a child struggles with focus, memory, instructions or school workload.

▦
Teachers and tutors

Practical guidance for adapting explanations, instructions, pacing and practice.

⌂
Schools and centres

A scalable way to add cognitive screening, learning recommendations and progress tracking to existing education services.

Why it fits EdTech4BY
Better learning starts with understanding how the child learns.

Space Memory fits the EdTech4BY catalogue because it connects assessment, personalised recommendations and learning practice. It is especially relevant for families, diaspora schools and educators working with children who need clearer, more individual learning support.
