Here's another experiment to try. Again, 20 words will be read with an interval of about one second between each word. When the file has finished playing write as many words as you can remember, regardless of order into the appropriate box. Do not guess. Click “ready” to start the experiment.
bream; later; pot; start; job; clog; Mayor; else; wage; jowl; chap; trout; lot; tape; dusk; wreak; list; smug; duck; big
You probably did worse on this than on the previous experiment. Here is a chart that details the results gathered from a group of 39 people who had participated in the same experiments as you. As you can see from the graph, in the first experiment, people scored much higher than in experiment 2.
