Name: Working Memory Directions: For this lab, you will do TWO short experiments and compare your results. 1. Navigate to the following website and follow the instructions: https://www.psytoolkit.org/experiment-library/digitspan.html 2. Click the “Click here to run a demo” link to begin the experiment. Pay careful attention to the instructions that follow. 3. Following the last trial, the program will present you your reaction time data . DO NOT HIT THE SPACEBAR. Take a screenshot of that summary (numbers in the black square window) and paste it here. 4. Repeat steps 1-3 with the following link: https://www.psytoolkit.org/experiment-library/corsi2.html 5. Answer the questions below! Copy BOTH Sets of Data Below on the Next Page: Copy Data Below: Digit Span Corsi Blocks
Questions 1. Look at your individual data. Were you scores within the “typical” range for these tasks (see experiment page for more information about “typical” ranges for each)? Discuss how this compares to how you view your own memory (e.g., did you expect to be above or below average and were you right?). 2. What part of working memory is being relied on for the digit span task? What part of working memory is being relied on for the Corsi blocks task? Be sure to define each part of working memory you use and explain how it fits the task. 3. Choose one of the following encoding strategies we discussed in class: visual imagery, self-reference, or organization. How could this strategy be used to improve performance in ONE of these experiments? (your choice!)
