What is NOT an informal measure of memory?

Informal measures of memory typically involve activities that are more playful or exploratory rather than standardized tests. They are often used in educational or therapeutic settings to gauge memory skills in a less structured manner.

Color Naming Tasks are categorized as formal assessments rather than informal memory measures. These tasks often involve more rigid and defined procedures to assess cognitive functions related to memory and processing speed. Typically, they evaluate how quickly and accurately an individual can name colors, which can indirectly test memory and cognitive processing but in a structured way.

In contrast, Span Tasks, Memory Games, and Working Memory Tasks are generally considered informal, as they can be adaptable, engaging, and used in various contexts without strict adherence to formal testing protocols. These types of tasks invite a more dynamic approach to evaluating memory, often emphasizing interaction and participation.
