Questions and answers
What makes a memory game challenging?
Mostly the amount you must hold at once. Short-term memory holds only a few items at a time, so each extra step in a sequence adds a disproportionate amount of difficulty. Speed, similar-looking items and interruptions make it harder still.
How do I get better at sequence memory games?
Group the steps into chunks. Instead of remembering six separate squares, remember two shapes of three squares, such as 'top row, then a diagonal'. Players usually improve at a specific memory game through practice and better strategies.
Are memory games good for adults?
They are a fun, low-pressure challenge at any age. Improvement on a memory game mainly shows you have got better at that game. Evidence that such games improve everyday memory is limited, so treat them as enjoyable practice rather than a treatment.
Can you play memory games offline?
Yes. This browser challenge runs entirely on your device once the page loads, and every memory game in the SkillArena app works with no connection.
