What is the aon gridchallenge practice (working memory)?

A practice version of Aon's (formerly cut-e) gridChallenge, the working-memory game in Aon's smartPredict series, used in P&G's online assessment among others. A dot lights up on a grid. Before the next one, you answer a quick spatial question: is this pattern symmetrical about the vertical line? After the last dot, tap the dots in the order they appeared.

Why it is hard: the distractor questions use the same spatial memory you are holding the dots in. Aon calls it keeping something in mind "while simultaneously trying to process other information". Nine tasks, from two dots up to five, as in Aon's nine-task version. Your score is 70% dots recalled in the right place and order and 30% distractor accuracy.

What works: name each dot's position in words ("top-left", "row 3, column 2") and repeat the list under your breath while you judge the pattern. Rehearsing out loud uses a different memory store than the pattern, so the two stop competing. Answer the symmetry question quickly. Folding the pattern in your head along the centre line is enough.

Frequently asked questions

What is the Aon gridChallenge?

A working-memory game from Aon (formerly cut-e). You remember the positions of dots on a grid while answering spatial questions in between, then recall the dots in order. Aon describes nine tasks of varying difficulty in about nine minutes.

Does the order of the dots matter?

Descriptions of the real task say you recall the dots in the order they appeared, and this practice version scores it that way: a dot counts only in its own place in the sequence.

Is this the exact Aon game?

No. Aon publishes only the outline (nine tasks, working memory), so this follows the mechanics candidates describe: dots alternating with spatial distractors, then recall in order. It trains the same skill: holding positions while doing something else.
