Memory — how much you can hold, and how accurately you recall it
Short-term memory is the ability to hold information in mind and recall it accurately moments after it disappears. In a memory test question, material is shown briefly, then hidden; you reproduce or recognize it from memory alone. Short-term and working memory underpin nearly every other cognitive skill — reasoning, mental arithmetic, and reading all depend on holding intermediate results in mind while you work. LEVO measures memory as a 10-question section of its two full-length IQ tests — the second-largest section — trains it daily, and offers a dedicated shelf of memory games in its brain-training library.
What it is
Memory, as LEVO measures it, is short-term recall under honest conditions: you see the material for a fixed moment, it disappears, and then the question asks what was there. There is no trick to it and no reasoning shortcut — the score reflects how much you encoded and how accurately you can retrieve it. That simplicity is what makes it valuable.
Working memory acts as the mental workspace for every other skill in the test battery: solving a matrix means holding candidate rules in mind, and continuing a number sequence means remembering the differences you just computed. So the memory axis of your report is worth watching over time — it interacts with everything else. The section runs 10 questions where most sections run 8, because recall accuracy is noisy question-to-question and needs a few more data points to measure reliably.
How LEVO measures it
- IQ Test 1 — 10 memory questions, each showing material briefly before asking. More than the 8-question reasoning sections: recall needs more data points for a reliable score.
- Post-training IQ test — 10 questions, separate question set.
- Tests 3–5 do not include this category (matrix-only).
How LEVO trains it
One of the seven daily training categories: 6 memory questions per daily session from a practice pool of 112 exercises — tied for the largest pool in the program. Each exercise uses the same memorize-then-recall format as the test section. Unlike the reasoning categories, memory training doesn't show per-question feedback mid-session — revealing the material immediately after a recall attempt would coach the specific item — so results come at the end of the session.

MemoryQuestions & answers
How does a short-term memory test work?
Material appears on screen for a brief, fixed time, then disappears; the question asks you to reproduce or recognize what you saw. Your score reflects recall accuracy. LEVO's memory section runs 10 questions in each of its two full-length IQ tests.
Why does the memory section have more questions than the others?
Recall accuracy varies more from question to question than reasoning accuracy does, so a reliable memory score needs more data points. LEVO's memory section runs 10 questions where the reasoning sections run 8.
Which LEVO games train memory?
Five games in the library list working memory among the skills they help improve: Memory Fruits, Origami Match, Memory Safari, Path Finder, and Light Order. They sit alongside the daily training category, which practices the same memorize-then-recall format the tests score.
