Title: short term memory Post by: oxford_fan on Tuesday, January 25, 2005, 15:24:57 does anyone have any?
i've noticed lately that mine is pretty awful, being at uni where the days merge into each other can't exactly help, but i think i should perhaps start cutting down on the old greenery. Title: short term memory Post by: Ben Wah Balls on Tuesday, January 25, 2005, 15:27:57 I don't have one. I almost always forget peoples names a minute after they've told me. Long term memory's fine though.

my days do seemingly merge into one! Title: short term memory Post by: oxford_fan on Tuesday, January 25, 2005, 15:58:02 i forget names all of the time, but thats due to not concentrating when i'm introduced to people.
the other day i was desperately trying to remember if i'd seen 'house of the flying daggers', the follow-up to 'hero' which i definitely have seen. i concluded that i had and it was one of the best films i'd ever seen, then remembered today that i've not seen it.

Title: short term memory Post by: Simon Pieman on Tuesday, January 25, 2005, 16:07:10 i thought you were going to say they concluded you were stupid! :wink:
the way you built up that sentence, i really thought that was what you were going to say. sorry! Title: short term memory Post by: sonicyouth on Tuesday, January 25, 2005, 16:08:11 I am stupid as well, but I have the memory of a Goldfish to go with it :)
Title: short term memory Post by: McLovin on Tuesday, January 25, 2005, 16:50:46 My short term memory is ace, and that is sometimes confused with intelligence. I remember stuff from just reading it, then pass exams basically by recalling everything i read. 3 years later, i can't remember anything from my a-levels whatsoever.
Title: short term memory Post by: Ben Wah Balls on Tuesday, January 25, 2005, 16:58:02 I can remember just from reading stuff as well but that's like medium term memory.
I remember virtualy everything I read and I believe thats what makes me more of a selective individual than someone who doesn't remember anything. Title: short term memory Post by: blinkpip on Tuesday, January 25, 2005, 17:10:27 My only problem is remembering how to spell. But fine with everything else.

I know a bloke with a photographic memory and he says he can't read papers because it hurts his head. Must be a bit of a shitter in a way. Title: short term memory Post by: oxford_fan on Tuesday, January 25, 2005, 17:22:33 the other day i was round my mate mike's flat. he left the room to get a yoghurt and was gone for about 1 minute. he walked back in the room and went "SHIT! forgot you were in here".
a few too many drugs, i think. he's a little slow. Title: short term memory Post by: Dazzza on Tuesday, January 25, 2005, 19:08:19 Often switch on to auto pilot, more often or not at work when I forget names, appointments and the like.
When i was at Uni my subsiduary subject was teaching. Not something I had chosen and I whinced at the idea initially. But it was taught by a psychologist and was all about learning style, patterns and the like. Basicly identified that in traditional learning enviroments I was a pile of crap at remembering things. One of the assignments was to conduct a working experiment in another module only learning in the style that was identified to be your strongest. I had to draw loads of pictures stick them up on my wall and spend a couple of minutes learning the associated content each day. Bloody aced the thing got over 90% without doing a fraction of the work anyone else did, I had to see the tutor and explain why my marks where quite so high. Title: short term memory Post by: Simon Pieman on Tuesday, January 25, 2005, 19:08:25 my mate always used to give me a lift home and forget i was in the car, despite finishing our conversation only 30 seconds before. Always annoying when he did a wrong turn....
