Specific objective(s) Memory: Short-term memory measurement based on the classic Memory Game Listen: Ability to relate pictures of objects with the sounds they produce in their natural environment. Hungry Navigation: Navigation ability measurement. 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. Categorize: Categorization ability using an educational game in which the child is asked to "drag" an object in the world in which it fits. Sequence: Sequencing ability measured using the same approach used by psychologists using words picturing time-related events.
