About Sequence Memory

The Simon Effect

This test is based on the classic Simon electronic game from the 1970s. It measures your ability to encode and recall ordered sequences, a key component of working memory used in everything from following directions to learning music.

Tips

Try creating a mental "path" between the tiles rather than memorizing individual positions. Some people find it helpful to assign each position a number or direction. Practice improves sequence memory significantly.
