"Essentials of Psychology" Douglas A. Bernstein, Peggy W. Nash which is on the net has it (spaced out - "9 2 5") They reference Howard which doesn't seem to be 'available' Here is a test of your immediate memory span (Howard, 1983). Ask someone to read to you the numbers in the top row at the rate of about one per second; then try to repeat them back in the same order. Then try the next row, and the one after that, until you make a mistake. Your immediate memory span is the maximum number of items you can repeat back perfectly.

  [can't edit above] Just a confirmation it's in Howard 1983 through Google Books. But you have to search on the first number of each line "9836014289" because it's a table. This is why the books don't come up directly in search. Also you can't 'see' it, you just know it's there - https://books.google.com/books?redir_esc=y&id=ho8QAQAAIAAJ&focus=searchwithinvolume&q=%229836014289%22 https://books.google.com/books?redir_esc=y&id=ho8QAQAAIAAJ&f...

  Whoa. Did this exact test in '95. They made a point of this being your memory span, but it's definitely something which can be trained. This is something we would do as part of (professional) language transcription/translation, just recording mass amounts of numbers, because those tend to be important.

Funnily enough, your comment is now the top search result for that query....

  Is there a name for this phenomenon, yet? When a comment about an obscure search query becomes the top result of the query.

    It's named after the parent user, and is called the "isitthough42 effect". You can Google that term soon enough.
