Abstract
A questionnaire technique, based on public events, for quantifying memory over long periods of time, is described. Independent groups of subjects were tested at intervals of six months on a recall and multiple choice version of the questionnaire. A consistent relationship between memory and both age of subject and passage of time was found. An error analysis is presented.Keywords
