SureSelect: Remembering Relationships Overview

Test your ability to remember and understand relationships between objects. This module evaluates your working memory capacity by requiring you to memorize relationships between aircraft or objects, then answer questions about those relationships.

Objective

Memorize relationships between objects displayed during the introduction phase, then accurately answer questions about those relationships when prompted.

How It Works

This game challenges your ability to remember relationships between multiple objects. Unlike simple memory tasks, this game requires you to understand and maintain a mental model of how objects relate to each other - a critical skill for air traffic controllers who must track multiple aircraft and their relative positions, altitudes, and headings simultaneously.

Step-by-step Instructions

Watch carefully as relationships between objects are displayed on screen
Relationships may describe positions (left/right/above/below), altitudes, directions, or combinations
The relationships will disappear after the introduction time ends
After the relationships disappear, a question will appear
Select the correct answer from the multiple choice options
Respond within the time limit to score points

Skills You Develop

Working memory for relationships
Spatial reasoning and mental mapping
Multi-attribute information processing
Rapid relationship encoding
Accurate relationship retrieval under time pressure
Attention to detail during brief displays
Resistance to interference
System structure understanding

Coaching Tips

Focus intently during the relationship display period - you only have a short time to encode the information
Try to create a mental map or diagram of the relationships as you see them
For position relationships, visualize the spatial layout
For altitude relationships, create a mental hierarchy
For direction relationships, visualize the compass directions
Use verbal rehearsal - mentally repeat the relationships as you see them
Don't panic if you don't remember everything - focus on what you do remember
Develop a systematic approach: identify all objects first, then map their relationships
Practice maintaining focus throughout the entire display period
Use the visual feedback after each round to learn from your mistakes
For combined attributes, break down the information into separate components
