Participants are presented with a series of numbers and must recall them by typing them into a box. The amount of numbers will increase, making the task harder and harder until we can measure the maximum amount of numbers a participant can remember.

Sustained Attention to Response Time Task (SART)

This SART task is modeled on the framework used in The Irish Longitudinal Study on Ageing (TILDA)

Participants must press a button (mouse or onscreen) in response to a series of digits and withold responses on the number 3)

Each digit appears for 300ms, with an interval of 800ms between digits. The cycle of digits 1–9 is repeated 23 times, giving a total of 207 trials. The task lasts approximately for 4min
