Short Term Memory Test:
I got a 5, which is about average according to George A Miller. I think it's on the low end of the spectrum though so I should probably improve my skills. I think this test is pretty valid but I think there should be more tests to see if it actually measures how well your memory is since it only asks you 12 words.
Picture Short Term Memory Test
Out of the 20 pictures shown, I only remembered the butterfly, house, phone, pencil, chair, and rainbow. I don't think this test is that valid because it doesn't even analyze the results for you, but it's a decently good measure to see how much you can remember in a short time.
Memory for faces
I actually got everything right for this test compared to the other tests--I think it's because focusing on the features of the face is easier than remembering 20 different objects that aren't related to each other. I think this test is pretty valid for testing facial memory but the only thing about it is that the features aren't realistic, so it might not be applicable to real life faces as accurately.

I think it's pretty interesting and kind of a breakthrough that scientists could find cells vulnerable to alzheimer's, which gives hope to possibly developing medicine that could counteract the disease.
