"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.
- aaron695 4y ago[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...

- LanceH 4y agoWhoa. 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.
