Memory

These are the tests where the number is a span — how much you could hold before it slipped. Timing hardware matters less here than it does for speed tests, because the quantity being measured is a count rather than a few hundred milliseconds.

What matters instead is exactly how a trial was scored and when it ended, so that is what these pages state. A span measured one way is not comparable to a span measured another, and we would rather be specific than impressive.
