Digit Span Task

Test your verbal working memory. Numbers will flash on screen — recall them in order (Forward) or in reverse (Backward).

Digit span is one of the oldest short-term memory measures. Forward span stresses simple maintenance; backward span adds manipulation load. Useful for tracking verbal working memory across days when you control sleep and stress.

FAQ

What is digit span?: The longest sequence of digits you can repeat correctly — a classic index of verbal working memory capacity.
Is this a medical test?: This is a self-assessment game, not a medical diagnosis. Talk to a clinician if you have clinical concerns.
