Thanks for taking this task. It consists of 60 trials. In every trial
there is a pair of an arithmetic operation and a word. e.g.
(8 / 4) + 3 = 10 bone
First you will be shown the operation,
(8 / 4) + 3 = 10
and you need to click the correct button (True or
False) as
fast as you can.
After you click the button, the word "bone" will appear for a while.
Try to REMEMBER
the word.
The operation-word pair will be repeated randomly between 2-6 times.
For example:
(8 / 4) + 3 = 10
bone
(3 X 2) + 4 = 5 rose
(4 / 1) + 0 = 4
pet
At the end of these 3 operation-word pairs, you will be asked to type
in
the 3 words in
the right order they were shown, i.e. bone
rose pet
No pen/paper or other tools are allowed in the test. Please DO NOT rehearse the words aloud at any point during the test. You will see your score at the end of the test, and this score will be automatically emailed to me. Please follow the instructions carefully, since otherwise your score will not will not adequately measure your working memory span.
