Woops..Sorry Mom..I Forgot

This week, in psych, we learned about all kinds of memory. Iconic memory, echoic memory, short term memory, and long term memory. When you think about testing your memory, you think it's pretty easy and anyone can do it. However, if I asked you what you had for lunch yesterday, you probably would not be able to tell me. We use all kinds of memory every day. For example, remembering something someone said to you earlier would be echoic memory. Remembering someones ugly hairstyle you saw on the street would be iconic memory. I found a site on National Geographic Magazine online that tests your iconic short term memory. When I tried it, I thought it would be easy. As it turns out, it is far from it. Check it out.
