What did we do?

To make a memory test, we grabbed 25 different things from around the house and covered them up with a towel. Next, we asked eight of our friends to take a test. We removed the towel and gave them one minute to stare at the items. When the minute was up, we covered the objects again and asked them to write down as many objects as they could remember.
