Ever forgot names of people you met, keys, new vocabulary, phone numbers, birthday dates etc.? If you think you have a Bad Memory, you are utterly wrong.
Take part in this Standard Picture Recognition Test, and I'll prove to you why your memory is great. Just so you know, this experiment has been conducted a myriad of times (with a couple of thousands of slides), and the results are mostly same. For more, be sure to check out:
Joshua Foer - Moonwalking with Einstein book, where he describes the test in more detail.
Your memory is incredible, and it's able to gorge new information in a much faster and long-lasting way than you think, IF YOU USE IT CORRECTLY!
The solution to this problem is, that the mind works in terms of visual associations, and not abstract ideas, which this experiment eloquently demonstrates.
