Week 5

VERBAL MEMORY TEST

Your recall score was 2. Your recognition score was 40.

This test showed my ability to recall vs. recognize words that were given to me earlier in the test, as you can see, my recall score is much lower than my recognition score, which was almost perfect. This means that I am like the majority of the population in that I am about to recognize information more than recall information. 

MEMORY TEST USING NUMBERS

You did not remember that 9 digit number
Today's Score: 8

This test measured my ability to remember certain numbers. It gave me the number and 10 seconds to remember it, and then I had to type the number in. The highest score I could get to was 8 numbers. 

TEST YOUR SHORT-TERM MEMORY

Okay, out of a possible score of 12, you scored 8 . 

In this test, I was quizzed on my ability to remember certain words. Only remembering 8 of the 12, I tended to remember the first and last of the words, and less of the middle. This is because of a human tendency to remember the first and last words or first and last information that is processed

MEMORY FOR AN EVERYDAY OBJECT

In this test, I was quizzed on my ability to recognize everyday objects. I was given pictures of pennies, with only one being a real penny, and asked which one was right. I ended up picking the right penny, showing that I have good recognition skills.
