[QUOTE="nickdnz, post: 560947, member: 38640"] How old are you may I ask? Usually there is no need to worry. Everybody starts to forget things at a quicker rate than they learn from the age of 18 onwards. There are three types of memory - short term memory, working memory and long term memory. Basically short term memory is anything under around two minutes, working memory is more to do with things like routine - so for example remembering and recalling series of numbers - and long term is anything over 2 minutes. Sounds like your struggling with short term memory - but it may be caused to any number of issues such as anxiety, depression or just high stress in general - in which all of these problems would likely be nothing serious. If it's something you are concerned about in terms of worrying about things such as early onset alzheimer's - there are short term and long term memory exercises which have had relative success. If it's something you want me to inquire about I can look into it (haven't done much cognitive psychology in a while - mainly social and abnormal - but I'll inquire about it). If it's a really cause for concern it may well be worth seeing a psychologist or even your GP. [/QUOTE]
