How reliable is your memory? Year 10 Psychology Investigation
We’re going to play a memory game: • Pay attention and concentrate on the following 12 words; you’ll need to recall them later on • Are you ready?
Interim Activity • As an interim activity, you’re now going to count backward from 100 by 7’s: • 100, 93, 86... • All together...ready?
Recall • Now for the test... • Take a page and get ready • When I say so, silently and on your own, list as many of the 12 words shown earlier as you can...
Reflection • How did you go? • How many did you get correct? • How many students included the word “sleep”? • Why do you think this is the case? • What does this suggest about the reliability of our memory?
