Sequence Memory
Watch the sequence, then repeat it.
Overview
The Sequence Memory Test measures your working memory capacity and accuracy. Memorize the order in which panels light up and reproduce the sequence. Each correct answer increases the level by one. The average adult working memory capacity is 7±2 items, and this test challenges that limit.
Rules
- Watch carefully as panels light up in sequence
- After the sequence ends, tap the panels in the same order
- Each correct answer advances you to the next level with one more item
- A mistake ends the game, and your reached level becomes your score

FAQ
Are there tips to improve my sequence memory score?
Chunking (grouping information) is effective. Memorizing in groups of 3-4 items helps retain longer sequences. Perceiving spatial patterns rather than individual positions also helps.
Can working memory be trained?
Yes. Training with tasks like Dual N-Back can improve working memory capacity, though several weeks of consistent practice are needed for measurable gains.
Does age affect the score?
Working memory capacity peaks in the 20s and gradually declines with age. However, regular cognitive training can slow this decline significantly.
