Shows a complete lack of understanding of how childrens' skills are developed.
Intelligence is built from various sequences.
1. Path integrations. The ability to test without supervision and coaching movements beyond the scope of eyesight, aided by landmarks, without the use of breadcrumbs or maps.
2. Short-cuts. The ability to use the above to create short-cuts in the unmapped and unsupervised, unaided paths.
3. Vicarious trial-and-error. The ability to learn both from mistakes and idiosyncratic choices that develop unique solutions.
And there are MANY others like this in the motor and cognitive mapping system built from sharp wave ripples.
This software is the equivalent of brainwashing experience into mechanical reproducibility. It's the latests tech horror show.

This is not about intelligence or development of children skills, its about task completion.
Your comment sound pretty rude.
Narrowing the concept of what a task is at this age is extremely damaging and limiting to experience.
Naming sequences as "tasks" is tantamount to enslavement into an order of roboticism. This sounds like the beginning of a Bradbury story in which children revolt en masse.
Pretty rude? The entire approach here aimed at kids is beyond rude. It's mind-control.
“A growing body of evidence has found that children’s brains can structurally and functionally change due to prolonged media multitasking, such as diminished gray matter in the prefrontal cortex, where attentional control and complex decision making abilities reside, among other really important skills, like the development of empathy and understanding nonverbal social communication,”
