What is a normal memory span?
In digit-span tests like this one, most adults can hold about 7 digits, give or take 2. That figure is known as "the magical number seven, plus or minus two".
How can I improve my short-term memory?
Chunking helps a lot: remember 4-8-1-5-9-2 as 481 and 592. Sleep and regular practice help too.
Is this a medical test?
No. It is a fun benchmark only and cannot diagnose memory problems. If memory changes worry you, talk to a doctor.
