goldfish do have longer than a 3 second memory
The goldfish It is said a goldfish only has a memory span of just a few seconds
Goldfish can only remember the past five seconds of their life.
It actually has a memory span of a month. I read this in a book. Don't blame me if it is wrong. This is because a goldfish always recognizes it's owner, knows when it should be fed. It only has the attention span of 3 seconds.
The thought that goldfish only have a memory of three seconds is false. Studies show that a goldfish has a memory of a few months. Goldfish have been taught to go through mazes or do tricks. The simplest way to prove that a goldfish has a memory longer than three seconds is to observe what they do right before they are fed. They tend to congregate at the surface near the human that feeds them. Goldfish clearly remember (have a memory) that seeing a human often leads to being fed. myth busted
I know as a fact (from a book) that a goldfish only has a three-second memory. So I never expect my goldfish to recognize me as their owner! =) Despite popular opinion that goldfish have no memory it has been show in many studies they do have long term memories. It is generally accepted be around two week but some studies have shown it to be up to 11 months.
The goldfish is often said to have a very short memory span, lasting only a few seconds to a few minutes. However, recent studies suggest their memory could be longer than previously thought.
their memory span is 10 seconds, i think that by the time they can find something unusual to do they forget it.
Hmm. Does fish go into that category?I was thinking about a goldfish.It would most likely depend on individual differences.Even I have a short attention span when dealing with things that do not interest me in the slightest.On the Lighter SideI'm sorry, what was your question?
At least three months.
The statement that fish are "stupid" with short memory spans is a myth. Goldfish are actually perfectly able to contain memories for up to five months. Scientists have researched that they can remember specific times of day when they're usually fed. However, that does not give goldfish, or any fish for that matter, the ability to read.
Yes, but it requires constant bribes, and goldfish only have a memory span of three months. Few people have taught their fish tricks,
Not quite. They only have a memory span for three seconds. Then they forget everything all over. I am not an expert but I heard it on tv, you should google it.
