I am going to a seminar about cognitive issues with MS and I have a hard time remembering what short term memory means so went looking on the web so I wouldn't embarrass myself too much if I decided to ask a question about it.
During my search I found an interesting test for short term memory. I did pretty good...8 numbers. Want to try it? I haven't tried the other tests/activities yet. http://www.braingle.com/mind/test_numbers.php

My long term memory is great. I remember so many things I did when I was very young and places I had seen.
I can even tell you names of all thirty three in my Kindergarten class by looking at the class photo!! My short term memory is just awful so DH goes with me to Doctor appts and he tells me later what the Doctor said because I wouldn't be able to remember anything he said.

I don't like that game. lol I got 8 on the numbers, 6 on the letters, and only 4 on the words. Oh, so sad.
There is a test on the web from the University of Miami. Its a quick test and you can print out the results and bring it to your dr. I'll see if I can find that site and post the link. |

Got 6 on the numbers, 5 on the letters, and 13 on the words.
Managed to get some words that went together like apple and trees, but anything I couldn't word associate with another on the list went out the window, lol.

Oh crud! I thought I was hot stuff cause I got 7 numbers. Then, I took this test and found out that my executive functioning is very low!! The shifting attention test was not good for me. I thought I was aceing it, too!
