[Face Memory Test]
i read Joanne's blog and went to try out my ability to memorising the faces. as im always good at rmbr the faces. Like, I will rmbr this person appear in this movie and that movie..blah blah.
here is my score:A) Recongition Score (if you saw it)
My score - 91% (avg score is 92%)
This is a measure of your ability to remember the photos you've seen, regardless of the part in which you saw them. From all 24 photos shown in Parts 1 & 2, you recognised: 22 photo(s).
B) Temporary Memory Score (when you saw it)
My score - 77% (avg score is 68%)
This is a measure of how often you recognised a photo and matched it to the correct part, instead of just remembering which ones you'd seen. From all the photos you recognised, you matched: 17 photo(s) to the correct part.
Sleep scientists say that:
Recognition memory for faces is unaffected by sleep loss. A person who has not slept for as much as 35 hours can perform as well as someone who is not sleep deprived.
the area of the brain that controls temporal memory can be affected by prolonged sleep loss and/or ageing. So a healthy 65 year old who sleeps normally would be able to perform this test similarly to a 20 year old who has gone without sleep for 36 hours.
BUT the area of the brain that controls temporal memory can be affected by prolonged sleep loss and/or ageing. So a healthy 65 year old who sleeps normally would be able to perform this test similarly to a 20 year old who has gone without sleep for 36 hours.
In the section above
you made 2 "false positive(s)". That is, thinking you remembered seeing the photo when you hadn't seen it before. Average false positive score is 1-3.
It is quite true as practically i got some difficuties to rmbr things temporay like 'forgetting to bring the papers that Vivien wants' which may dued to my countless nights of work. =/ but hey i still good at memorising things.
so how do you fare? (click to test)Anyway im starting my 3 month course in early Jul at SMU. Looking forward to going back to school but this time round is WORK thn School.
