Grid Slam Memory Task
Multi Step Slam utilising 3×4 grid set up with freeform multi cue (5 cues per repetition). Aim to remember cues in order, then complete multi cue step and slam in order from memory.
Multi Cues: Number (grid, clock, freeform), Colour (4-square) and Shape app cues can be set to give multiple cues (2-5) of the same type per repetition. For example, this Grid Step exercise utilises 5 Freeform Number cues per repetition.
3×4 Grid set-up to facilitate variable step lengths.
Freeform cue visual format to enable visual reference of number cue order.
Slow pace to allow time to complete all 5 slams prior to next cue.
Environment Constraints: Grid size, marker distance, ball type.
Task Constraints: All 5 cues received prior to starting repetition. Complete 5 step and slams to corresponding number markers on grid, in order. Refer to screen if reminder needed.
Exercise Design Notes: Multi cue cognitive load to challenge working memory; set pace to slow to allow sufficient time to complete all slams in-between cue sets; Freeform format used for cue to allow easy reference to cue number order (number order cannot be checked in Grid format on screen).
Regression/Progression: Number of cues, pace, load.
