Span and recognition tasks

Memory tests that grow until you miss

Digit span forward and backward, word recognition, grid patterns, tile sequences and a running verbal-memory test; each reports the longest span or count you held today.

What these tests can and cannot tell you

A memory test here shows you a sequence, a pattern or a list and asks you to reproduce or recognise it, growing harder until you miss twice. The result is the longest span or the number of items you held on this attempt. It is a snapshot from one sitting on one screen, not a memory score, and not a screen for any condition; sleep, noise and strategy move it from day to day.

Digit Span Test

Watch a growing sequence of digits and enter it back in order. The sequence gets longer until you miss twice; your result is the longest span you reproduced on this attempt.

Working Memory Test

Backward digit span: watch the digits, then enter them in reverse order. Holding and reordering is what working memory does; your result is the longest reversed span on this attempt.

Short-Term Memory Test

Read twelve words, then decide for twenty-four words whether each was on the list. The result separates hits, misses, false alarms and correct rejections.

Visual Memory Test

Cells light up in a grid; tap them back after they disappear. The pattern grows and the grid widens until you miss twice; your result is the largest pattern you reproduced.

Sequence Memory Test

Tiles light up in order; tap them back in the same order. Each round adds a step until you miss twice; your result is the longest sequence you repeated.

Verbal Memory Test

Words appear one at a time; say whether each has appeared before in this run. The list grows as you go; three mistakes end it, and your result is how many words you kept track of.

How to use these results

Look for a pattern worth testing in real life. Do not use a result to diagnose yourself, prove intelligence, or make a hiring decision. Each route links its source and scoring method.
