Wave Memory presents a pattern as a wave or a flowing sequence and asks you to reproduce it. Because the information is continuous rather than a set of discrete items, the usual chunking strategies apply differently — you are remembering a shape over time rather than a list.
Watch the wave pattern play out.
Note its shape and timing.
Reproduce the pattern.
Correct reproductions add complexity.
Your score is the most complex pattern reproduced.
Memory for continuous patterns rather than discrete items. Continuous material is encoded more like a melody than like a list, which favours rhythmic and motor encoding.
Treat it as a melody. Hum or move with it as it plays.
Remember the shape — rising, falling, peaks — rather than individual points.
Note the timing as much as the values. The rhythm is half the pattern.
Reproduce at the same tempo. Changing speed distorts the shape.
Sequence games use discrete items. A continuous pattern is encoded more like a tune, which makes different strategies work.
The pattern is primarily visual, though audio support helps if it is available.
Yes, noticeably — musicians are used to encoding continuous patterns over time.
Move with it. Motor encoding is unusually effective for continuous material.
