My background is cognitive science. There are a lot of interesting paradigms used in cognitive psychology to examine particular cognitive skills. You might find it a useful approach to have a look at the mechanisms of some of these paradigms to give you some inspiration for game mechanics. A good starting point is PEBL. This is a free battery of experimental cognitive task you can download and play around with on your computer. Hope this helps.

Research psychologists use programs like PEBL to conduct experiments. The different tasks/games contained in PEBL examine different cognitive skills. In my work I have recently been creating games using these tasks as a starting point. PEBL is not very user friendly but you should be able to get it working if you play around with it. I do not have PEBL my self at the moment as my computer died two weeks ago therefore I cannot talk you through the process of getting it to work, sorry.
