What a lesson looks like
Inside a lesson
- Short steps instead of lectures, with portraits of scientists and historical illustrations
- Experiments: your own result instead of someone else’s word
- Term cards that come back on a schedule
- A topic quiz and an AI tutor: ask by typing or by voice
Memory doesn’t store events like a video. Each time you recall something you rebuild it from fragments, and each time it comes out a little different.
Your span: 7 digits
Best result 7, attempts 2
Why did I remember six digits and not nine?
Six is a typical result. Short-term memory holds about seven items, give or take two: that’s how George Miller described it in 1956. You can’t stretch it directly, but you can group items into chunks: 4-9-1-7 is easier to hold as 49 and 17. In the Memory topic you’ll go through this technique step by step.
