How Good My Memory is

 

I felt as if the tests were very accurate in testing my short term memory as I was able to recall many of the pictures due to repetition and familiarity of the images. With my most of my results I was able to achieve a high score in memorizing the appearance and organization of these certain images especially for the test about matching the facial structures. While for the test that consisted of many different objects and tested how many I was able to remember, I was only able to recall less than half of the images. This is due to how with short term memory one is not able to remember a whole list of items, but rather a small amount of topic. These tests are very valid as they can be applied to multiple participants and varying real world situations. 

Here is an article from about 4 years ago about how our memory does not always remember everything: https://www.nytimes.com/2019/03/22/health/memory-forgetting-psychology.html?smid=url-share
