A very simple Stroop Test for practice

A very simple Stroop Test for practice

In this task participants are required to sort the presented cards based on a rule. The rule is unknown to the participants, however they receive feedback whether their answer was correct. The rule changes after certain amount of trials. This experiment is based on Grant & Berg (1948) experiment.

DRM memory test

In this task participants are required to memorise and recall number series in order. Participants start out with three 3-digit sequences. If participants correctly recall 2 out of 3 three sequences, they progress to 4-digit sequence trials and so on. If participants respond incorrectly on 2/3 trials the experiment terminantes. This experiment is based on the original digit span experiment by Jacobs (1887).

The (second) summer project is to replicate Experiment 2 in the document (sent to us laboratory members by Dr. Arnold Glass) using the lab staff as participants. In this version of the experiment participants will not be told to respond as rapidly as possible.

The experiment would be programmed in python and placed on Pavlovia, which would make it possible for participants to perform the task remotely. The predictions of a simple model would be fit to the results and they would be included in a report, currently under revision, to satisfy the conditions stated by the editor for publication.
