how good is your memory ? short term memory test: 8 correct parts I think this is pretty accurate, because I usually can't remember a random list unless I spend more time trying to actually encode it into my memory. memory for faces: 8 correct parts I think this is accurate because I am usually good at recognizing people's faces, even if I don't know them very well. picture short term memory test: 12/20 I did better on this than I expected to - I am usually really bad at remembering a lot of random things. Researchers have recently discovered that there are 2 types of cells in the brain that help organize discrete memory based on where they occurred. The researchers found that there were two different types of boundaries when forming memories. A "hard boundary" is when there is a sharp cut between certain events.

dear ap psych student...
