Face Memory Test ResultsYour Score
Recognition score
( if you saw it )

Your score: 91%



Average score: 92%

This is a measure of your ability to remember the photos you've seen, regardless of the part in which you saw them. From all 24 photos shown in Parts 1 & 2, you recognised: 22 photo(s). Temporal memory score
( when you saw it )

Your score: 81%



Average score: 68%

This is a measure of how often you recognised a photo and matched it to the correct part, instead of just remembering which ones you'd seen. From all the photos you recognised, you matched: 18 photo(s) to the correct part.

Sleep scientists say that:
recognition memory for faces is unaffected by sleep loss. A person who has not slept for as much as 35 hours can perform as well as someone who is not sleep deprived.
the area of the brain that controls temporal memory can be affected by prolonged sleep loss and/or ageing. So a healthy 65 year old who sleeps normally would be able to perform this test similarly to a 20 year old who has gone without sleep for 36 hours.
Hover your mouse over the ticks and crosses to see how you performed:

I got 100 percent (it said 95, but then it said that I recognized all the images I had seen before... so it's wrong.) on the first bit.

I got 78 on the second bit... mixed three photos up between the two groups.
=====================================
In all honesty it wasn't that difficult.
that's the point. The human brain is VERY good at recognizing faces.

Karma's right, the test is bugged. I know which ones I saw and didn't, and what I selected in the test part, but at the end it's listing some of those as that I'd never seen them, which is wrong.


Anyways, my score:

Recognition score

Your score: 87%


Temporal memory score
( when you saw it )
Your score: 80%

Maybe I would have done better had I taken the breaks they suggested... :)

They have a lot of neat tests on that site. I suggest everyone browse it and check some out.

Darn I cannot do this test now.

I wanted to save a couple of pictures and I hit the back button by mistake. This meant i had to restart the test all over again ( i was at 30 or pictures in test 3)
When i tried to save the picture this is what i found out

*Spoiler:*
When ya right click on each picture and chose the 'save image as' button.

The darn thing tells ya which group it belongs to.
eg face 3_04 does not belong in the group
face 1_04 belongs to group 1 and is the 4th pic in the group
face 2_10 belongs to group 2 and is the 10th picture

If you don't take the breaks than it's alot easier than it's supposed to be
actually, it isn't. The breaks are there so you don't mix areas up. If you take the breaks then you'll be less likely to confuse areas one and two.
