Memory Test

Simon is a classic electronic memory game from 1978 where players must repeat an increasingly long sequence of colored lights and sounds. This memory test follows the same concept — watch the pattern of colored buttons, then repeat it. Each successful round adds one more step to the pattern.

This test measures your short-term (working) memory capacity and sequential memory ability. It tests how many items you can hold in immediate memory while maintaining their order. Most adults can remember 5-9 items in sequence, which aligns with Miller's Law (7±2 items).

Try chunking — group colors into pairs or triplets instead of remembering each individually. Use multiple senses by associating each color with a sound or word. Practice regularly, as short-term memory can be trained. Ensure you're well-rested, as fatigue significantly impacts working memory performance.
