Memory Testing

Introduction

Memory is a function of the brain and, simultaneously, a phenomenon of mind allowing the body to encode, store and retrieve information. Arises as a result of connections synaptic repetitive between neurons creating neural networks (called long-term potentiating). The memory can retain past experiences and, according to the temporal scope is classified conventionally: short-term memory (following the simple excitement of the synapse to temporarily reinforce or sensitize), medium-term memory and long-term memory (the result of a permanent strengthening of synapses through the activation of certain genes and the synthesis of proteins concerned). In this paper I will consider a memory testing tool, how it work, what are its uses and its strengths and limitations.

Clinical Memory Assessment Study

Objective

Ignorance of self cognitive deficiencies (anosognosia) is a common symptom of right hemisphere dysfunction There are no data concerning self-awareness of the own memory (meta-memory) of patients with right hemisphere pathology in comparison with left hemisphere pathology patients. This analysis technique allows JOL (Judgment of learning). The aim of this study was to assess: subjective opinion on the overall capacity of word list recognition, subjective estimates about the level of play lists of words and objective results obtained during the recall and the convergence (adequacy) of these two measures in persons with disabilities of right vs. left hemisphere dysfunction. 

Material and methods

The study involved 25 healthy subjects and 23 patients neurologically after ischemic right (n = 13) or the left hemisphere (n = 10). We used a questionnaire assessing the effectiveness of memory, geriatric depression scale assessment and tasks of learning 10 words (six samples), followed by estimation of the level of memory (JoL). 

Example of Memory Test

Memory test widely used to memorize a series of objects and figures that can be observed for a short period of time. After that time, should be written in a form the names of all objects in memory. Another example is to delete two figures interspersed among other figures. For example:

Spot figures 4 and 2 as quickly as possible.

5 2 4 8 10

1 4 5 6 9 5

6 7 8 3 4 3

3 2 1 4 1 3

Uses of Memory Test

The memory tests are an excellent mental exercise for those who want to monitor, evaluate and improve their memory.

From the age of 25 years, thousands of neurons are lost every day, only regular training overcomes this irreversible loss.

The tests target a specific type of memory. They used to know you, assess your abilities, skills and identify your psychological behavior.

The psychometric tests such as IQ also incorporate tests of memory.

Many tests exist to access memory (memory). Doctors and psychologists use them to detect such diseases (Dodson, 2007).

For the curious who do not seek serious and exploitable results, many tests and exercises to train the memory can be realized on the Internet.

How does it work?

The test of digital memory is an exercise designed to assess the memory for numbers. In each series set, the candidate must repeat in the right ...
