Recollect the Game 1.5

Recollect is a cognitive training game developed by the University of California Riverside (UCR) Brain Game Center for Mental Fitness and Well-being, a research entity dedicated to exploring methods and applications for enhancing brain fitness. As the third installment in their series of memory training games, Recollect builds upon the empirical foundations established by its predecessors while introducing additional cognitive challenges designed to broaden the program's efficacy within an engaging side-scrolling platform.

Targeted toward individuals of all ages, Recollect aims to provide both an enjoyable and effective brain-training experience. Drawing on over a decade of research in cognitive neuroscience, the game features scientifically validated tasks, including N-Back, Item Span, and Multiple-Identity tracking. These tasks are individually recognized for their ability to enhance working memory and facilitate transfer effects to untrained cognitive tasks.

Recollect represents a comprehensive research initiative addressing key questions about working memory improvement, brain plasticity, and factors influencing attention and reinforcement in cognitive training programs. Players engage in a dynamic game environment where they must navigate various cognitive tasks to advance through different levels and unlock enhanced features. The tasks are thoughtfully structured within a reward-based framework that promotes user adherence while maintaining training effectiveness.

The game's narrative immerses players in a multi-world universe where they assume the role of an astronaut named Lerner. Charged with the crucial responsibility of collecting resources for the last human space colony, players must explore diverse planets to gather essential plants and minerals vital for sustaining the colony's technology and food supply. The challenge lies in strategically collecting resources in specified sequences to prevent deterioration while maneuvering through hazardous terrains filled with obstacles. Through this engaging mission, players employ their memory skills as they assist Lerner in overcoming these challenges, underscoring the importance of cognitive ability in the survival of the human race.
