So I've discovered that yes, my memory is bad. Funny how I found out. My husband has a really good memory trainer app on his phone, so i got it for my phone. I have been feeling like some memory training may help. I think about my psychologist asking me to remember a sequence of words like "red, truck, dish, cow," and then about 15 minutes later asking me to remember them, which I did. And she was like, ah ha! See, your memory is fine.
But on this memory training it seems I have certain holes in my memory. I've been playing on the easiest setting and I always get extremely poor score.
With lists, I do pretty good, (although I know from many trips to the store that relying on memory of a list is not a good idea,) but with sequences of letters, numbers, or patterns I do terrible! This really bothers me because remembering things in sequence is very important to my writing. I am wondinger if that is why I'm having so much trouble and I lose my writing ability or reading ability suddenly. I can't remember the sequence? I don't know. But, I wish the thing had a better tracking method because I think this is rather important. I don't know what it means.
