THIS GAME IS GOOD FOR KIDS WHO NEED HELP WITH:

Planning

Developing a systematic approach for setting and achieving goals.

In Electric Box 2, the objects the player places are meant to enable a series of reactions, with one activating the next until the electricity reaches its target. This process requires the player to think ahead when deciding where to place each object, predicting how the electricity will react. If objects are arranged at random or without strategically considering the outcome, the player will not be able to conduct electricity to the destination and complete the level.

Working Memory

Recalling and retaining information in our minds while working.

More and more objects are added to the game as the levels advance, requiring the player to memorize the different functions and uses of each one. By quickly recalling the ways electricity will react to each object, the player can move more quickly through a level, which in turn results in a higher score. If the player fails to commit the properties and usage of the different objects to memory, she will be forced to re-read the descriptions mid-game, hurting her final completion time and decreasing the number of points she earns.
