Amazing Memory Test: Alex Kim

This videos is about a guy that tests his fellow co-workers on memory.He turns on a television that displays several words, and he instructs them to write down as many words that they can remember. Before he begins the experiment, he explains that the first three words would most likely be remembered due to the primacy effect and the last three words would be remembered due to the recency effect. He also claims that the majority in the group will regurgitate words over and over which is known as maintenance rehearsal. It is the most common method of memorization. Eventually, they begin the experiment and they quickly find out that many of them, wrote down words that was not on the original list. This phenomenon occurs because memory is sometimes misleading and acts as a lousy videotape.
