If the response is incorrect, the same level is presented a second time. If the response is correct (in digits and presentation order), the participant moves up to the next level (e.g. A visual signal is presented for the duration of 1s, after which the participant is asked to recall theĭigit sequence and type the answer into a presented textbox. Level 3), where each digit is presented for 1 s. If no correct response is given within the maximum number of practice trials, the task terminates.įor the duration of 14 trials (based on Experiment 1, Woods et al, 2011), a participant sees a sequence of visual digits (starting with Until a correct response terminates the practice session and advances to the test session.
