Gnosia helps kids practice and improve the following skills:

Focus: Getting started and then maintaining attention and effort to tasks.

If you are going to survive in the game Gnosia, you need to be able to Focus. Being able to look at what each character is saying and compare it with your knowledge of their personality traits is essential for catching a murderous alien or avoiding suspicion yourself. Players who struggle with Focus may find themselves losing more often than not because they have not been paying attention to the personalities of their fellow crew members. For these players, accessing the Crew Log and spending a few moments to look at the character profiles will help bring some of that information to the forefront when trying to decide who you think is guilty or innocent. 

Working Memory: Recalling and retaining information in our minds while working. 

There are times in Gnosia when you need to keep several pieces of information in your head all at once and your working memory skill is going to be put to the test. You will need to keep track of who claimed to be a certain role, who called you out for being suspicious, and who you think is the actual alien on board. For players who struggle with working memory, it can be difficult to recall all of this information while simultaneously debating your own innocence but there are tools within the game to assist you if you are struggling, There is a logbook of your debate to refer to if you forgot what a certain person said earlier in the debate. There is also a set of character profiles which you can use to see the personality traits of each character and what their strengths and weaknesses are.
