Learn moreThanks for taking part! The study was about how we remember words or images that have different amounts of information. Information in this context means something quite specific, but roughly, it relates to common something is: rare words like ocelot are generally more informative than more common words like cat. The list of words and images we gave you had mixed up rare and common words and items in a particular way, either by mixing them throughout the list or clumping them all at the begining or end. We're looking to see how the rarity of words or images, and the order in which they're presented can help (or hinder!) how well people can process and recall them.

This is a study on memory conducted by Taylor Hinton, Christine Cuskley, Joel Wallenberg and Tom Smulders at Newcastle University. You will recieve $12 for your complete participation. Note that the HIT must be completed within an hour of starting; you will be given short breaks throughout, but cannot complete the task completely at your own pace.
First we will ask you for some general information about yourself. Then, we will ask you to remember some words and images tell us how well you recall them. Your answers will be recorded for the research, but will not be identifiable to you personally.

This is a demo version of the experiment. No data is being collected, but you are welcome to try it.
Before we get started with the task, we have a few basic questions about you. Once these are done you'll receive more specific instructions about the task.
We'll start by making sure you aren't a bot or a script. Follow the instructions below carefully so we can make sure you aren't a robot.
We haven't collected any data. If you think this is an error, just refresh the page and try again. You will have to consent to participate again.
Welcome and thanks for agreeing to take part. The study will take place in a few distinct parts:
You'll have more detailed instructions before each step, and we'll explain the decisions in more detail after you've had your first video break.We'll start by showing you a demo of how you will see the wordspictures you will be asked to remember.
Now for the second part of the experiment. You'll do more or less what you just did with pictures, only now with a list of words. words, only now with a series of pictures.
You'll have more detailed instructions before each step, and we'll explain the decisions in more detail after you've had your video break. As before, we'll start by showing you a demo of how you will see the words pictures you will be asked to remember.
The real list will be longer, and will be a list of unrelated words instead of a sentence. Otherwise, it will be the same: focus on the cross in the centre of the screen to see each word.
The real series will be longer, but otherwise, it will be the same: focus on the cross in the centre of the screen to see each picture.

When it's over, a button will appear. Click it to continue.
When it's over, a button will appear. Click it to continue.
Now we want to know what you remember about the pictures you saw earlier.
On the next page you'll rate a longer series of pictures - some of them are pictures you just saw, and some of them aren't. For each picture, we want to know if you think you saw it (Yes or No), and how confident you are about your answer (Not at all, confident Sort of confident, or Very confident).
Once you've told us whether you think you've seen a picture, and let us know how confident you are about your decision, you can go on to the next picture. Your progress will show at the top

You're halfway through! Next, you'll be doing the same kind of task you've done with pictures, only with wordswords, only with images.
First, have a quick break. You can take up to five minutes to stretch, get a coffee, or stare out the window. If you'd prefer, you can also go right through by clicking 'Next' below.
