For as long as I can remember, I've always been able to remember vivid moments from my childhood and the older I got, the more memories I was able to retrieve. The earliest memory I have is from when I was 3 and a half and it's my older brother (who was eight or nine at the time) handing me batman valentine cards.
I like to bring up random memories from elementary school every now and then and people just don't remember, but I like knowing that I get to keep these important parts of my childhood with me.
The first memory test I took was the short term memory quiz, and I was very surprised with the results. I like to think I have a somewhat good memory, but scoring the lowest possible number to fall in average proved not. I scored a five, and according to Miller, that's average. I don't necessarily like being average but it's something I will have to improve.
I then took the face memorization test. Now, this may just be because of the Beyonce I had playing in the background, but my scores improved slightly. Rather than 5/7 I received a 7/10. Now, that might now be that much of a difference, but to me that is a lot and an improvement from the last quiz.
Next, I decided to go easy on myself and do the number memorization test. Using the process of rehearsal, I was able to go up to 10 digits without my brain exploding from this increase of 'information.' After ten, I decided to give it a rest because I felt as if my voice was getting tired, in a sense.
Almost nearing the end, I took the picture memory test and managed to memorize 16 out of the 20 pictures present. This, being 8/10, I consider it a success and am pleased with the results of this STM test. My memory seems to be improving already!
Lastly, I took the memory test from Psychology Test and I was very pleased with the results. I scored a 71/100 which equates to a 7/10 and this has pretty much been my score for almost every quiz I've taken.
I've learned that when it comes to numbers and pictures I will remember most of the time, but when it comes to words and phrases I am very bad at remembering.
Overall, I have an average memory, and I'm okay with that.
