Learning languages is intimately related to memory.
So, a memory test: http://www.mybraintest.org/online-memory-screening-tests/ (the digit span, and spacial memory). How did you score? Edited by Gemuse on 15 July 2014 at 4:40am 2 persons have voted this message useful | |||

I can't type the answers in so it's not helping much.

If you hit tab a couple of times it will let you type the numbers. I did the first one twice and know I got all of them right both times, but neither time did it display an answer or a score. I did the second one and know I got all (possibly missing the last one, but I think I got it) and it didn't yield a score either. Maybe it's my browser (Firefox). Though I love these kinds of memory games, this is a different kind of memory than what is used for languages. This is more "working memory", or really short term memory. Language learning involves etching words/characters/structures into long term memory which can be a long process, unless aided by mnemonics or other memory techniques. This kind of memory could be used in certain languages, like German for example, where you have to wait until a later point in a sentence to really know what is happening, forcing you to keep all of the information in your working memory until the end (for example, in a long German sentence you'll know that the subject wants to do something and how they want to do it, but you don't know what it is until the end, where the 2nd verb is). If you like this kind of stuff you should try Dual-N-Back (google it) Edited by soclydeza85 on 15 July 2014 at 10:00pm 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

The "score" for both tests is the maximum number of entities you can handle. You can select the number of items it will show you. It is initially set to 8.
It's not working for me in firefox, but it works in chrome. 1 person has voted this message useful |
