A total of 17 college students. One man and sixteen women of a large City University, Queens College. The mean age of the participants was 20 and were chosen through convenience sampling. Participants were not compensated for their participation as it was part of their course fulfilment.
Materials
The experiment was performed in a lab room where everyone had access to a computer and the internet. The experiment was performed on an online subscription based website with clear instructions. A black rectangular box was presented on the middle of the screen with a fixated point. It consisted of 3 memory sets 1, 3, and 5 digits that appeared on screen for 1.2, 3.6, or 6 seconds. There was a probe item that measured the participant’s memory for recall, with a total of 60 trials. Computer specific details were provided. The “n” key was used to start the next trial, the “m” key was used to answer yes when the probe number had appeared in the test trial and the “z” key if it had not.
Procedure
