Wow, your results are great, Brian. :P

I started doing it, but I'm sick and I could hardly get any of them. I shall be back to do this in full health though, I assure you. ;)

I was dismal on the word recall. Too dismal to even report the results.

But I did get 8 names and a response time of .375

It's interesting...my memory is not usually the best. When I did the word recall, I tried one of the standard mneumonic devices of creating an intricate story in my head that connected all the words as they were presented.
As of right now, 3 days later, I can still remember quite a lot of the words just by thinking about that story.
Usually I'm too bothered to use mneumonics, but I really should use them more often.

Thats a bit like what I did, except I painted a visual picture. I remember them all as well, even the two I originally missed :)

Really helps if you think to use it.

8 words out of 15. Probably would do better if it wasn`t midnight and I wasn`t so tired :P
