# Memory: Short-term memory measurement based on the classic Memory Game
Theoretical and Experimental Questions
# Listen: Ability to relate pictures of objects with the sounds they produce in their natural environment.
 
# Hungry Navigation: Navigation ability measurement.
The aim of the project is to support the understanding of complex dynamic processes in the Natural Sciences. Thereby we draw attention to conducive design of dynamic visualizations while considering and developing findings from cognitive and media psychology. Within this context we study the following topics:
# Syntax: Series of writing-skills tests analogous to those used for the classical evaluation of learning disabilities.
 
# Comprehend: Measurement of the ability to relate a pictorial object with its written name or the sound of its name.
mental resources
# Categorize: Categorization ability using an educational game in which the child is asked to "drag" an object in the world in which it fits.
processing capacity, working memory
# Sequence: Sequencing ability measured using the same approach used by psychologists using words picturing time-related events.
attention
modality- and codality-based processing channels
learner requirements
domain specific knowledge structures within long-term memory
expertise regarding cognitive and metacognitive processing strategies
spatial ability, visual literacy
