Memory Span Test
The digit span task measures your working memory capacity – the amount of information you can hold and manipulate in short-term memory. It is used in psychological assessments including IQ testing.
- Average adult digit span: 6–7 digits forward, 4–5 backward
- Forward span tests simple short-term memory retention
- Backward span requires mental manipulation and tests working memory more deeply
- Span can improve with practice and mnemonic techniques (chunking)
