The process of remembering is very closely related to the ability to memorize, which can be influenced by physical activities, such as physical exercise. Research by Fred Gage indicates that physical exercise can improve man's ability to memorize. This experiment investigates the effects of mild physical exercise on enhancing the short term memory on adult females. The experiment design is based on true experiment prospective method, comparative characteristic, with pre-test and post-test. The work method is modified Experimental Psychology using Nonsense Syllables test. This test involved 22 adult females and was carried out by asking the participants to memorize some new words or syllables within 3 minutes. Afterwards, they were asked to recall the new words within 2 minutes. The measured data in this test were scores indicating the number of new words (out of 20 new words) that could be memorized and recalled correctly. The scores were recorded in percentage, taken before and after mild physical exercise during 7 days continuously. The data were analyzed by using SPSS 13.0 with paired "t" test, a=0.05. The result of the experiment showed that the scores before and after the mild exercise were 42.05 and 52.27. The score after the mild physical exercise had significantly increased from the score before the exercise (p<0.01). It is concluded that mild physical exercise may improve the short term memory of adult females.
