Mnemonic Similarity:

Set C, Set D

Part 1 – 5 minutes

Do not tell the participant that there are two phases, or that one phase tests their memory.

Steps:

1. If it’s not open yet, open Matlab

2. Set directory in MatLab to the appropriate folder

3. In the command line, type: IncidEnc(subjnum, ‘dirname’) E.g. IncidEnc(999, ‘Set C’)

a. Make sure your dirname matches your directory folder, otherwise it won’t run

4. Make sure the cue card is in front of the screen with Indoor/Outdoor facing forward

a. (We place cue cards in front of the keyboard reminding them of what buttons to push for what responses. V for Indoor, N for Outdoor.)

5. Read the instructions for the study phase to the subject

Instructions for Set C / Set D study phase (read this to the subject):

“First I want you to look at some pictures. When the computer program starts, it will show you pictures on the screen one by one. For each picture that you see, I want you to decide whether the item you see is an indoor item or an outdoor item. There is a little cue card below your screen to remind you what buttons to push. If you see an indoor item, I want you to press the V key on the keyboard. If you see an outdoor item, I want you to press the N key.

If you’re not sure whether the item is an indoor item or an outdoor item, go ahead and take a guess, but try not to skip that trial. Also, the pictures are only on the screen for about two seconds. Try to get your responses in before the next picture comes up on the screen. The computer will not indicate whether you are right or wrong.

Do you have any questions? When you are done with this part, I’ll come back into the room.”

Part 2 – 8 minutes

Steps:

1. In the command line, type: ONSTest(subjnum, ‘dirname’) E.g. ONSTest(99, ‘Set C’)

a. The subjnum and dirname should be the same subjnum and dirname from part 1

2. Flip cue card so that Old/Similar/New faces forward

a. (V for Old, B for Similar, N for New)

3. Ask your participant to put on headphones and play the quicktime instructions

4. After listening to the instructions, ask if your subjects has any questions

Instructions for test phase (If the quicktime doesn’t work, read this to the subject):

“This second part will be a memory test for the items you just saw. I’ve flipped your cue card around, so you have a different set of responses to make. The computer will show you pictures on the screen again, one at a time. This time, however, for each picture, I want you to decide whether the picture is old, similar, or new.

So, if you see a picture on the screen, and it is the exact same picture as one you saw five minutes ago, then I want you to press the V key for old, saying that’s an old picture. If you see a new picture – it’s new, it’s different, you haven’t seen it before – then I want you to press N for new. If you see a similar picture, which means, the picture comes up on the screen and you should be able to think something along the lines of, “oh, that’s very similar to an old picture, but it’s not the exact same picture,” then I want you to press the B key for similar.

Do you have any questions?”
