Author Topic: Forum Experiment: Nouns  (Read 562 times)

I'm performing a small human experiment, to see how good different demographics are with their short term memory.

It's simple to do, just clear your mind of all thoughts, close your eyes, and then think of as many different nouns as you can, and stop when you stall for 5 seconds or more.

How many did you think of?

Tits

Thats it
Actually i thought of 5 words that are slang for breast

I agree.  About 250 nouns were processed within one second for me.

Just guestimate.

Also added a none option to the poll, and reset due to the only results being 51+

Oddly enough they were all food related

this would work better if i had to say each one aloud

Its easy (to me) because the next noun always related to the last one, and it just went on and on.

Very good, how many did you think of before you stopped for 5 seconds?

I honestly only got 7 on my first try.

Probably between 50 - 60, then I just stopped.

71, not hard when you have quick reflexes, understand the objective and have a room full of things.

You're supposed to close your eyes.
