goldfish do have longer than a 3 second memory
it is until they have sex then they forget everything.
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.
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?
Most believe 2 or 3 seconds but it is proven that it is 3 months or so Look Up comet the gold fish Proves it is smart
The attention span of a goldfish is around 9 seconds, although recent studies suggest it could be slightly longer. This short attention span is due to the nature of their brain structure and behavior patterns.
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 TRUTH IS A GoldFishs memory is 3 months longa long time ago some person made up a myth that golfishs memory were 3 secondsbut then a few scientists figured out that it was 3 months!!varying from 2 seconds to 12 seconds depending on what type it is basically not very longWRONG.Goldfish are actually more intelligent than we give them credit for. Mythbusters proved this by teaching them to swim mazes and their time got faster and faster thus proving they have good memories
While most people believe that the attention span of a goldfish is a few seconds this has been proven wrong. A study done by the School of Psychology at the University or Plymouth in 2003 proved that the attention span of a gold fish is three months.

The life span of a ribosome depends on the length of the protein being made. That ranges from 20 seconds to 1/3 hour.
