Face memory test

This is interesting.

There are 3 parts to this quick test. Part One requires you to look at 12 potraits. It then recommends you rest for 5 minutes before you proceed to the second part. Part Two also requires you to look at 12 potraits. It then again recommends you rest for 5 minutes before commencing Part Three. In Part Three you are shown 48 potraits and you're required to select which you recognized.

At the end, the results will analyze your recognition memory and temporal memory. It state that sleep scientists claims that recognition memory is not affected by sleep loss whereas temporal memory can be affected by prolonged sleep loss.

I know I certainly have prolonged sleep loss so it's a great suprise that I scored 91% for recognition memory and 100% for temporal memory. Average score is 92% and 68% respectively. Hu ha. I missed out 2 pics.

Here's the link to the test:

Good luck.
