Story Behind Memory Detective
—— Xu He (Designer of this game)
When I studied for my master degree, my major was psychology. I was interested in the mechanism behind working memory and the relationship between working memory and intelligence. So I did some research on working memory capacity. When I carried out my experiments, I found the task used in my experiments was just like a game! Some participants even said they enjoy playing it!
… I finished my research and published my papers. At this time, results of another research in our lab showed that using tasks similar to the one used in my experiments to train participants constantly leads to improvements on working memory. That’s amazing.
Because of the above, I decided to make a game based on the working memory task. Finally, I implemented this idea. I made Memory Detective with two friends, and made it available on Google Play.
