Auditory memory is the ability to retain what has been heard, store it, and recall it when needed. In people with dyslexia or dyscalculia, one often observes a differentiated processing of what was heard. The child must understand what the teacher has said and remember it — this is a function of auditory memory. These games specifically train the storage and retrieval of auditory information.

Function

Auditory Memory — Spatially assigning what has been heard

Significance

The child must retain what has been heard and assign the direction of the sound. In dyslexic individuals, differentiated processing of what has been heard is often observed.

Training effect

Trains retaining and processing auditory information — the foundation for understanding and following spoken instructions in class.

Function

Auditory Memory — Retaining what has been heard and recognizing what is missing

Significance

The child must remember a sequence of sounds and recognize which one is missing. Retaining what has been heard and reproducing it when needed is the core skill of auditory memory.

Training effect

Strengthens storing and retrieving what has been heard — important so that letters and syllables are not omitted when writing.

Function

Auditory Memory — Remembering and reproducing sound sequences

Significance

The child hears a sequence of distinct tones and must reproduce them in the correct order using colored buttons. This auditory working memory task directly parallels the challenge of holding spoken syllables and sounds in memory while writing a word.

Training effect

Trains the ability to retain and accurately reproduce sequences of sounds — essential so that syllables and letters are not omitted or rearranged when writing from dictation.
