What skills do the games practise?

Memory: retaining and recalling information

Games such as Remember the Target, Dutch Pairs, Remember the Shelf and What Came Before? use items, pairs and sequences. You remember information from the game and use it later, rather than relying only on what is currently visible.

Attention and thinking: finding the right detail

Find a Number, Identical Pictures, Find a Picture and Numbers in Order ask you to focus on details and distinguish between choices. Word and Colour and Letter and Number add rules you need to follow when choosing a response.

Reaction and coordination: linking sight and action

Catch the Moment, Canal Boats, Quick Sorting and Drive and Collect offer reaction and coordination tasks. Notice what is happening on screen and choose the appropriate click or movement, combining visual attention with a timely action.

Why give your mind a challenge?

We think of movement and exercise as part of everyday life. Activities involving concentration, recall and learning can also make a day more varied. A short game can replace a few minutes of scrolling with decisions, feedback and a challenge.

The Israeli Ministry of Health explains that cognitive practice involves concentration, memory, planning and problem-solving and can include computer games and apps. Its guidance stresses variety and consistency. Games are one option alongside learning, social activities, movement and other interests.

What does research say about brain training?

The ACTIVE study, published in 2014, involved 2,832 independently living older adults. Participants practised memory, reasoning or processing speed in structured programmes. At the ten-year follow-up, benefits remained in the trained domains for reasoning and processing speed; improvements in memory performance were not maintained at that follow-up.

These findings apply to the programmes and outcomes studied. The research provides context for cognitive practice, but did not test Smart Samarin and does not prove that this game improves abilities outside its tasks. Here you can enjoy short challenges and practise the skills they require.
