Do you think it is possible to think of something - for example; a word - and then forget about it immediately?

Yes

Yeah, but can you do it knowing that you have done it - if you're with me. For example, right now, think of a word. Now try and forget it. Seems impossible to me. :)

Hopefully not deliberately if that's what you're suggesting :eek:
Unless you are a fish ;)

Yeah, deliberately. :D There must be a theory about this somewhere on the interweb.

What I want know though, is how do they know fish have short memories - I mean, they can't exactly ask it? How do they test such a thing??

They make them take a 'fish quiz'
