Are you more forgetful than a fish?
Hot 4
There is a saying "He has the brain of a goldfish. " to describe a person who is forgetful. Many people think that fish is simple and has poor memories. But in fact, they are more complex than we think. According to recent studies, goldfish has developed similar vision like human-being. Some illusions which can cheat your eyes also work on fish. A particular report also found that the length of attention span of fish is longer than of human!
As a result of the use of internet and devices, our attention span is down from 12 seconds in 2000 to 8 seconds today. But goldfish has 9 seconds attention span.When it comes to forgetfulness, a study showed that goldfish can distinguish shapes, colors as well as sounds and can remember things for at least 3 mouths. On the top of it, it can recognize its owner.
So it is wrong that goldfish only can remember things for 7seconds. After reading this, what are you thinking?
Anyway, what distinguishes human and animal is the ability of learning. If you were sill addicted to internet and phone, you can't match a piece of fish. XP
