Memory Test

What Does the Memory Test Measure?

This test focuses on visual working memory—your ability to briefly remember information and use it shortly afterwards. Research suggests that visual working memory has a limited capacity, although performance varies between people and depends on the task. Learn more about visual working memory .

How Does the Test Work?

A group of boxes on the screen will briefly be highlighted. Your task is to remember their positions and click the same boxes afterwards.

As you progress, the test becomes more difficult by increasing the number of boxes you need to remember. Your goal is to reach the highest level you can.

What Does Your Score Mean?

Your score is the highest level you successfully complete. A higher level means you were able to remember more positions as the difficulty increased.

There is no universal “average level” for this particular online test. Your score is most useful when comparing your results across attempts using the same test.

What Can Affect Your Result?

• Attention: Distractions can make information harder to remember.
• Fatigue: Being tired can affect memory and concentration.
• Practice: Familiarity with the task can improve your performance.
• Task difficulty: Remembering more items at once puts greater demand on working memory.
