About CrushStations
Players need to remember the color and type of creatures to free them and keep them out of reach of the hungry octopus.
How does this support learning?
Executive functions refer to a set of top-down, goal-oriented cognitive processes that enable people to control, monitor and plan behaviors and emotions. Miyake and Friedman’s model supports a unity-and-diversity view of EF in that it incorporates the three distinct but related components of EF: inhibitory control, task-switching and updating (Miyake et al., 2000).
What is the research evidence?
Our research suggests that CrushStations is an effective way to train working memory.
The study supporting this claim will be published soon.
Research has found that EF is related to performance in literacy and math along with long-term gains in school performance and academic readiness (Blair & Razza, 2007; Brock, Rimm-Kaufman, Nathanson, & Grimm, 2009; St Clair-Thompson & Gathercole, 2006; Welsh, Nix, Blair, Bierman, & Nelson, 2010) and that disparities in EF among preschool children from low-income versus high-income homes may contribute to the achievement gap (Blair & Razza, 2007; Noble, McCandliss, & Farah, 2007).

Phenomenon game, with one major problem that can be easily addressed
In the beginning the game does feels like it pushes my working memory, but after a continuous play, the shapes and colors are stored in my short term memory, and i dont use my working memory whole a lot which defeats the whole purpose of this game. My suggestion here is to add adequate number of shapes and colors( or even new requirements ) and randomize them in each level

Great but doesn’t work on older devices
Works on my phone, but older tablets and iPhones the app crashes. As a parent, my kiddo doesn’t have the latest and greatest device and these kinds of apps should be tested on much older devices that are 4-6 years old.
