How many colors can you remember?
A sequence memory test measures one thing: the longest sequence you can repeat without a mistake. Chromory turns it into a game.
A sequence memory test shows items one after another, then asks you to repeat them in order. The longest sequence you repeat correctly is your memory span. It is a simple measure of short-term memory: what you can hold in mind for a few seconds.
Why it gets hard so fast
Each new color adds to everything you already hold. A few colors are easy. Past a certain length, the start of the sequence fades while you listen to the end. Most players hit a wall, then push it back a little with practice.
Make the test harder
- More colors on the board: from 4 in Classic to 10 in Expert.
- A faster speed: less time to fix each color.
- Mirror: repeat the sequence backwards.
- Shuffle: the buttons move, so positions do not help.
Compare fairly
Chromory keeps the length, speed, variant and date of each score. A 12 at very fast speed with 10 colors is not the same feat as a 12 at slow speed with 4: your records show the difference.
