Demonstration 5: Memory if often a Reconstruction

The class was asked to remember 10 shapes.
Then when we were about to recall the shapes Mr. Peter gave us a sheet with hints on it.
Although it didn't really work with Fik and I, the result of the test was supposed to be influenced by the hints on the sheet. For example, if the hint was diamond inside rectangle, the side of the interior shape of the rectangle should had been more straight than those who got the hint saying, window with curtains.

although that was the ideal of the experiment. there was barely any differences between my and my partner's recall of the shapes despite the different hints. I cannot really tell why that happened but MAYBE our class has been doing such test quite often that we are trained to remember stuff more accurately than before...... may be......
