Do you all remember the conveyor belt finale that used to feature on The Generation Game?
What about that old game in which one is shown a table full of various objects and one has to identify which have been subsequently removed?
A quickie question: How do you rate your memory skills good folks?
….and who are all you people? |

Actually, I should have subdivided the question in hindsight between Long Term and Short Term memory.
In this regards, I’d rate my LTM as great (useless and obscure facts a speciality of mine!) but my STM is….wanting and I even forget simple drinks orders when out with friends  |

"It depends...ask me to repeat the lyrics of a song I haven't heard for years and I'll reel them off with blinking, ask me what I've just gone into a room for and I'll struggle  "
Scientists have actually studied this phenomena and even termed it as, The Doorway Effect  |

If I want to remember something my brain will hold on to it easily. Like do you remember when you said to me xyz when we were at abc kind of thing. Comes useful  ie. I remember you as a guy who posts about radiators, tiles etc.
Also great numbers memory. Useful for phone numbers in old days, birthdays, postcodes etc. so not that useful really.
And some general knowledge trivia.
I'm useless remembering song lyrics but melodies are just fine, wandering around my head.
