Beschreibung
Wie gut bist du, wenn du abgelenkt bist? Teste dich selbst auf unserer Memory-Insel! Dieses Spiel ist Teil eines Forschungsprojekts der Fakultät des Wabash College. Für mehr Informationen zu unserem Projekt besuche unsere Webseite unter http://www.behaviorgames.com/Kong.php
Spielanleitung
Benutze die Pfeiltasten (oder WASD-Tasten) zum Bewegen. Esc pausiert das Spiel. In jeder Runde musst du den versteckten Steinkubus finden, der sich in einem der Sockel am Rand der Insel befindet. Du bekommst die meisten Punkte, wenn du den Würfel beim ersten Versuch findest (indem du so wenige Sockel wie möglich überprüfst). In manchen Runden bekommst du eine kurze Buchstabenfolge zum Merken (z.B. "ZVQ"). Versuche, dir diese Buchstaben während der gesamten Runde zu merken. Schreibe sie nicht auf, aber du kannst sie dir beim Suchen vorsagen. Wenn du dich erinnerst, bekommst du am Ende der Runde einen Bonus!

I don't think that this experiment will give you any useful data. The task is simply way to easy and remembering letters does not distract enough from remembering to turn three pedestals to the left. You should vary the memory task a bit, e.g. by using words, word similar letter combinations and nonsense combinations with varying length. This way you could find out when the trained task has an influence on the memory task. The way you are doing it now (always trained task + 5 letters) brings you absolutely nothing.

UPDATE - 6/1/2011. Thanks for your feedback, and we've uploaded a revised version of the game, that should be about 40% less monotonous :) There are two targets now, rather than one, and if you do well on the game, you'll earn a point bonus and finish the game faster (in less than 75 trials). Let us know if you have any problems, and we'd love to get your feedback on this new version of the game.

Also, feel free to PM me, or send me a message, if you want to know more about how we're using this game. I try not to talk about our hypotheses too much on public forums, just so that people aren't influenced by what I expect to see.

Thanks for giving the game a try! In this version, there is one block that's hidden on the island, but the location is not the same for all people (there are a few random variables across people).
