What does Visual Memory test?

Visual Memory tests visuospatial working memory — your brain's ability to hold and recall spatial patterns. It engages the visuospatial sketchpad described in Baddeley's working memory model.

How is Visual Memory different from Pattern Recall?

Visual Memory tests which cells were lit (spatial pattern recognition), while Pattern Recall tests the sequence in which cells were lit (sequential working memory). They engage overlapping but distinct cognitive processes.

What is a good score in Visual Memory?

Reaching level 8 or above is above average. Level 10+ places you in the top percentile for spatial working memory capacity.

Is Visual Memory free?

Yes, completely free with no account required.

How to play

1. A pattern flashes on the grid — memorize which cells lit up.

2. When the grid goes dark, tap back all the cells that were lit.

3. Each correct round adds one more cell. One wrong tap ends the game.
