About this game

■You will be able to remember people's faces and names just by playing the game for 3 minutes a day.
I'm sure everyone has at least once had the experience of ``I've seen someone's face but can't remember their name,'' or ``My memory has gotten worse lately.'' For such people, we have released Kaonamae (beta version), a brain training app that allows you to memorize faces and names just by playing a game during free time such as commuting time.
■The ability to remember faces and names
Even if you vaguely remember faces and names, it will be difficult to remember them. You need to train your brain in a systematic way. The following three skills are important for being able to remember faces and names.
① Chao cognition
It is the ability to instantly judge from a face whether it has distinctive facial parts or whether it resembles someone else. If you have low chaos cognition, you may think you've seen it before but decide it's the first time you've seen it, or even if you think you've seen it before, what part of the face did you pay attention to, who did you think it resembled, etc. You may not understand it. You can improve your ability by looking at many faces and practicing capturing their features in as little time as possible.
② Name association ability
It is the ability to associate something else with someone's name. An effective way to develop this ability is to think of someone you know, a Sato-san, or a celebrity with the name "Sato" when you hear the surname "Sato." The important thing is to imagine ``something else that is easy to imagine'' from the surname, and with practice you will be able to quickly visualize it.
③Image binding power
It is the ability to connect images created using 1. Kao cognitive ability and 2. Name association ability. The situation of ``I've seen the face and know the name, but I can't remember it'' is a phenomenon that occurs when images are not combined properly. This app provides mini-games that allow you to train the three powers listed above in a well-balanced manner, or to focus on training the strength you lack. Develop your ability to remember faces and names by playing the game continuously. After the release of the beta version, we plan to add more mini-games from time to time, as well as an online battle function using mini-games.
■Effects of brain training
According to research on brain training that has been conducted around the world in recent years, ``the effect is large for things that are the same or similar to the content of the brain training, but the effect is limited for things that are completely unrelated.'' This way of thinking is becoming mainstream. In other words, if you do ``brain training to memorize people's faces and names'', it will have a great effect on remembering and remembering people's faces and names in daily life, but it will not improve your calculation ability or dynamic visual acuity. The effect is weak. In order to be useful in real life, this brain training app has games that simulate business card exchange, self-introduction, class list, etc. that business people do every day, and we plan to add more games in the future. is.
■Future additional features
In the beta version, we have released 3 types of mini-games: ``Today's Test,'' a test to measure your memory every day, and 3 types of mini-games that can train your chaotic cognition, name association, and image combination. We plan to release a calendar function that allows you to see past training results, a competition function that lets you compete against people from all over the world in terms of your ability to memorize faces and names, and a wide variety of mini-games.
