Gold fish?
goldfish do have longer than a 3 second memory
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.
I'm pretty sure all fish have a memory of about 10-30 seconds. They aren't really that bright.
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.
it is until they have sex then they forget everything.
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?
The goldfish It is said a goldfish only has a memory span of just a few seconds
their memory span is 10 seconds, i think that by the time they can find something unusual to do they forget it.
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 normal memory span for a person is about 30 years
