How Grid Recall: 5x5 Grid works

Cells on a grid light up one after another. When the sequence finishes, click them back in the same order. Each success adds one more step.

This is the Corsi block-tapping task, the spatial counterpart to digit span. It uses a different memory system from remembering numbers, which is why people are often noticeably better at one than the other.

Frequently asked questions

How does this differ from remembering digits?

It uses visuospatial working memory rather than verbal. You cannot rehearse a location by saying it, which is why the strategies that help with digits mostly do not transfer.

What is a typical score?

Most adults reach a span of about 5 to 6 blocks, slightly below typical digit span.

Does the reverse version exist?

Yes, and it is harder. This game uses the forward version, which is the standard clinical form.
