Mine was poor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This was part of a test, related to short term memory capacity, and, more broadly the schema that stress will build, if you carry too many \u2019thoughts\u2019 at once, you will start to drop other thoughts, at 8 or so items (12 in those of stronger short term capacity) the average person may start needing to either drop,  or, transfer some into long term, to free mind space.  Or, stress and confusion will follow, as we saw in the contestants as they struggled to recall from an over filled mind.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/chooselife.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/E7A6A1E4-379F-425A-916A-44C763E58336.gif\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2861\"\/><figcaption>End of test<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The method of pegging, association to another object, to free short term \u2019processing\u2019 memory, allowed people to recall 4 packs of playing cards, when done to extreme (the world record holder, was an athletics fan, so each card he pegged against an Athletics time,  etc. Giving him a mind map back to \u2019the memory\u2019, without it cluttering his short term memory.
