Method of Memories

Today during psychology class we did an experiment to test each of our memory. The main focus of this experiment is to explore each of our short-term memory. The experiment started by Mr. Peter will tell us a combination of number and after he finished saying out the combination then we will have to write it down. Each turn the number on the combination will increase. The contest ends if you get any number wrong in any combination. To calculate the score you then count the number in that combination u got wrong and that is your score. After the experiment we found out that there are many variations in score but the average of our class was 6.5 so most people were a little between +2 or -2 from 7. This show that most of us can only remember things for a short period of time because most of the things we see will be registered into out short-term memory.
