A method for testing a working memory of a subject includes the steps of presenting to a subject a first representation of a plurality of items and asking the subject to select a first item from the first representation. Next the subject is presented with a second representation of the plurality of items and is asked to select a second item from the second representation, the second item different from the first item. These steps test a subject's ability to select a different item from a plurality thereof, a first type of information. As a next aspect of the test the subject is asked to recall an order of the selected items. This step requires the subject to track the order of selection, another type of information. This juxtaposition of testing aspects increases the working memory load on the subject.
