Number Memory Test

Remember the number, then type it back.

A number of five to seven digits flashes on screen, then disappears. Type it back from memory. Press Another for a new number.

Most people can hold about seven digits in short-term memory. Grouping digits into chunks, like a phone number, helps you remember more.

Say the number aloud in your head in groups of two or three digits and try to see the groups as shapes or rhythms.
