Words you relate to yourself are remembered far better than words processed for sound or structure. Discover this powerful memory phenomenon in your own mind.
How to Play
● Encoding phase: each word appears with a Yes/No question
● Questions vary: about yourself, meaning, sound, or letters
● A short distractor task follows to clear working memory
● Recognition test: decide "Seen it" or "New word" for each item
● Words encoded with self-reference should be most memorable!
