I wonder if anyone has conducted tests/experiments to study which type of memory in humans is developed to what extent – visual, auditory, olfactory, tactile, gustatory, separately in terms of short-term and long-term retention, and how consistent such results would be with repeated tests on the same person during the same period of life, as well as how the situation changes if not specifically trained, and what happens if training what is already above average at the initial testing.

The test would look simple: you are asked to remember something, and in the next room choose from options. A shape. A musical note. A color. A smell. A texture. A taste. Plus all the same, but you need to remember the sequence of shapes, notes, colors, smells, textures, tastes. From two to N.

(EN is below) My eleventh attempt at oil painting. This is supposed to be me and Nadezhda Shulga. I’m not sure if I captured the likeness (Nadya, of course, is a million times better in real life). I guess I will probably continue to work on the painting, but someday later, when I feel confident that I can add something new without spoiling the old. Or maybe I’ll start painting again, but with the accumulated experience. Also, I missed the tenth attempt; I’ll publish it in a couple of days.

Thanks a lot to Marcia Klioze for invaluable advice and guidance!
