The Wilcoxon Signed Rank Test showed that there was a significant influence between the level of memory before and after brain gym for 4 times a week in 2 weeks, obtained a significant level of p = 0.000 (p = 0.005) thus Ha was accepted. There is an influence of brain gym on the memory of children aged 7-13 years at Public Elementary School 3 Sukatani, Tangerang Regency.
