And my second toe is longer than my big toe...)

Is there a ring on it? lol...

[paulat]

Get a room. This is a kid's science project link. Use some common sense.

I'm doing neither, just having some fun:) We did this before:) I like blonds too:) What do you think about my analysis about hands?

[BobS]

LOL! I'll keep to the subject:)

Right-handed, left thumb on top.

Are you going to throw out multiple data from families, since there could be a genetic effect that biases the results? ;-)

[LauraleeBraswell]

Right handed, but my left thumb was on top.

then I purposely did it the other way and put my right thumb on top- and it felt wierd.

I forgot to ask, is this cheatiing??? Not that I care. It is a cool way to collect data. She ought to make a great four cell chart and do a chi square {all I remember from stats}

Right handed...left thumb on top...female (might be a consideration)

[paudio]

[BobS]

I sent you a little email since somebody told us to "get a room" over our banter:) We aren't in the same time zones and I must rise early.

Forget all of that thumb stuff, just disect a frog like I did.

I was shocked at how much more I could remember after a sugar load. 2 the first time, 7 the second. It made a big difference for most people.

Did he try reversing it, doing the sugar-loaded trial first? Or do two trials, without sugar loading, to test the effects of practice?

Another fun variant is doing backward digit-span tests, where they have to repeat the sequence in reverse. This ties into mental processing rather than just memory.
