TL;DR
Attempts to randomize digits are relatively less successful the greater the number of digits to be randomized and the faster the rate at which responses must be made.
Abstract
Attempts to randomize digits are relatively less successful the greater the number of digits to be randomized and the faster the rate at which responses must be made. However, increases in the number of digits and/or response rate result in improvements in information generated per unit time.

It is argued that the fact that human Ss are incapable of generating a random series of selections from a finite number of alternatives is a function of the limitation imposed on Ss by the capacity of short-term memory.
