This past Wednesday, when I went to the Epileptologist, he was asking me memory questions.

Well, most of the time, the memory is in my brain somewhere, it's just that my recall isn't that fast.

He asked me who the president was, and of course, I said, "Obama." Then he asked me "and before that?" I said, "Bush"
Before that? I said "Bush again"...he kept pushing for previous presidents...I couldn't recall past Bush...so I kept saying "Bush again" and "again."

(Seems Bush was in office a long time) Finally, I told him to let me think for a minute (all I could come up with was Reagan)...finally I spit out "Clinton!"

Amazingly, when he gave me four words to remember and an hour later asked me what they were...I was able to tell him all four of them correctly! Yet, the only president I could recall was Bush...and five minutes later Reagan?

Good grief, memory/recall is very complex!

Hi seizures4ever

That is great!! I would have said Bush several times, too. His father was President as well.
I know Clinton was in there somewhere, but I do not remember if it was between the 2 Bush presidencies or before. You did great!! I would have said the same thing.

Sometime before that if was Reagan and Carter. I do not remember the order. I remember George Washington, Bush 2 terms and Bush 2 terms. What a family business.

I am not going to touch that one with a ten-foot pole. If you are 21, then I am 17.

I think


http://www.socyberty.com/
I found an all round informative site. I was searching for brain exercises. I haven't thoroughly looked at the site, but it does not seem to be devoted to just brain exercises.

I think it is pretty good. Just was cleaning old bookmarks, and stumbled across it.
