About Recall
The Recall Activity is a series of four memory games, each of increasing difficulty.
Where to get Recall
The Story activity is soon to be available for download from the Sugar activity portal: Recall
The source code is available on the Sugar Labs Gitorious server.
Using Recall
Simply launch the activity and the games will begin.
Each game has six levels of difficultly. As you complete a level – by getting four correct answers in a row – you automatically advance to the next level. Once you complete Level 6 in Game 1, you advance to Game 2. Similarly, completing Level 6 of Game 2 causes you to advance to Game 3.
The first game prompts the learner to observe which images are repeated in the grid. It starts easy, with just three images, but as more images are added, it becomes more challenging.
The second game prompts the user to identify the image which had not appeared in the grid. Again, it starts easy, with just three images to remember, but gets very challenging as the number of images increases.
The third game (an "n-back"-style game) shows images in sequence and prompts the learner to recall which image came earlier. First is asked for the image that was present just previously; then two-previously,... up to six previously.

Learning with Recall
Recall is a fun way to practice observation and memory skills. It is based in part on some of the observations and claims made by memory researchers (See [1]).
