Question 1

What is a good Sequence Memory score?

Accepted Answer

Reaching level 5-7 is considered average, while scores of 10+ demonstrate excellent visual memory. The average person can remember 7±2 items in their working memory, making level 7-9 a typical performance range.

Question 2

How can I improve my sequence memory?

Accepted Answer

Practice chunking (grouping items together), use visualization techniques, and play memory games regularly. Focus on the patterns rather than individual positions, and minimize distractions during the test.

Question 3

What does Sequence Memory measure?

Accepted Answer

This test measures working memory and visual pattern recognition. It evaluates your ability to temporarily store and recall sequential visual information, which is crucial for many cognitive tasks.

Question 4

Why does the sequence get harder?

Accepted Answer

Each level adds one more square to remember, progressively challenging your working memory capacity. This incremental difficulty helps identify the limits of your visual sequence recall ability.

Question 5

How is this different from other memory tests?

Accepted Answer

Unlike number or verbal memory tests, Sequence Memory tests spatial and visual working memory. It requires you to remember both the location and order of items, combining spatial awareness with sequential recall.
