Tip

  • Anchor the first and last shapes first — filling in the middle becomes easier.
  • Link each shape's appearance to its position number to reinforce the sequence.

Serial order memory is a core function of working memory, measuring the ability to retain the sequence of information. This skill is essential for language learning, planning, and executing everyday routines.
