  • How good is your memory? Think you can pass this memory test? In this video, we will memorize multiple lists of words to challenge your brain. This procedure is based on the Deese-Roediger-McDermott paradigm (DRM paradigm for short). Essentially, this paradigm helps demonstrate how we form false memories. Good luck!

    Thank you for this because I am doing this for my dissertation and struggled to understand how I would present it

    did pretty decent :)
    One could argue that the brain remembering sleep and chair is not really wrong. It is wrong when you think about it in an abstract, modern sense. But we are neither designed nor required (mostly) to remember useless lists of words. Most often we need to remember concepts, or the gist of something.
    If I tell a story it doesn't matter if the character was sleeping or dozing. It doesn't matter that it was a not chair, but a seat.
    On the same thought, I could rage endlessly about exams that ask such specific questions. Who the fuck cares what this number or that chemical composition is? It's important why it is and what the implications of it are.

      Very true! And I think you bring up some good points. However, I think when this really comes into play is when we over rely on our memories for specific details. For example, when witnesses need to describe what they remember during a trial. Those details could be the difference between someone going behind bars or being let free.
      But, for the most part, our brains optimize our thought processes so we can function better as a whole and it's great for most inconsequential things.

    I could come up with 11/15 on the first one, not one incorrect, and I didn’t write sleep either. On the second one I selected bench and sit, and not chair. So you’re telling me I’m a genius and destined for greatness? Ok thx

      Idk if you are being sarcastic. But your memory isn't your full intelligence, in fact it's like 10 percent of your full intelligence. So this doesen't make you a genius. Get measured by an actual professional on IQ, I know IQ isn't that reliable but it get it done then tell me

    Most people will think the word sleep. I think because the word is suggested by the spellings of the other words before it...lol

    13 words from both lists, but I did select 3 words (including the 2 right ones) on the last test

    sure of:
    bed
    rest
    blanket
    snooze
    drowsy
    peace
    slumber
    doze
    snore
    nap
    wake
    dream
    tired
    unsure/guess:
    sleepy
    comfy
    I did pretty well, I had to guess for a couple of words simply because I knew I needed 15 but could only remember 13. I didn't remember yawn or awake (but I remembered wake. Those were too similar)

    I have a terrible memory, to give an example, i met someone with the same name as me at my job and forgot that they had the same name the very next day. Smh. Yet somehow i passed both of these tests, although i almost wrote sleep and i almost chose chair, i stopped myself beforehand. Interesting

    If you don’t identify sleep or chair and you can tell your list is completely different. What does that mean?
