The Great Memory Experiment
July 31, 2010 by Memory Improving
Filed under memory help
Is there really a difference between the memories of men and woman? How big a role does age play when it comes to memory? Help me find out by answering six simple questions. Now I have no idea if this will actually work as this is the first experiment of this type I have ever done. With luck I will get enough responses for the results to actually mean something.

I’m a 31 year old man with a short attention span and missed some of the video. I’m uncertain about the methodology. It is as much a test of observation as memory. The results may also be skewed by peoples egos. If you scored low and have a big ego then you a less likely to post your result.

making some room to prevent some more people from seeing the answers
1) balloons
2) cookie monster
3) chicken suit
4) what hot air balloon?
5) animal
6) 2, a small one and a huge one.
You know, I find it amusing that in a test to check if there is a difference between the memory of men and women, the test subjects have like a 10-1 ratio in gender difference, possibly more.

1. balloons
2. Don’t know
3. a chicken suit
4. Don’t know – rainbow is the vague feeling i have but don’t specifically recall it

Sadly, This test probably tests who is more likely to cheat/who is more competitive rather than memory
