• N-back - The n-back task is a psychological test that is commonly used to assess working memory by cognitive scientists and clinicians. n-Back by JLab allows you to design your own n-back experiments, and then collect and export professional quality data for your school, college or university research projects.
• About Face - The About face app contains five different activities designed to teach children to recognise emotions from facial expressions. The app was developed by psychologists at the University of Bristol for educational professionals to use in a classroom setting. However it may also be used by parents with children at home.
