1 If I decide to do something in a few minutes’ time, I seldom forget to do it
2 I hardly fail to recognise a place I have visited before
10 If I intend to take something with me, before leaving a room or going out, I rarely leave it behind
11 I rarely mislay something that I have just put down, like a magazine or glasses
12 I seldom fail to mention or give something to a visitor that I was asked to pass on
13 I seldom look at something without realising that I have seen it moments before
14 If I tried to contact a friend or relative who was out, I hardly forget to try again later
15 I rarely forget what I watched on television the previous day
