A few Web-based experiments you can do

[vacognition]

Hello,

I run a number of experiments off our lab website (vacognition.wjh.harvard.edu). Most take about 5 minutes, and at the end you can find out what it was all about.

This is a variation on the open-source movement -- instead of paying a small number of people to spend a lot of time in the lab, get a bunch of interested volunteers to put in a few minutes each. Plus we can study things that just aren't possible in the lab (such as individual-differences experiments that need hundreds or thousands of people).

And the data is often better. Guess who pays more attention: an interested volunteer who is done in 5 minutes, or an undergraduate fulfilling a course requirement who has to do the same thing over again for an hour or two?

Darn web!

The results were given as "what you remember is a result of what you a" and I couldn't scroll to read the rest.

Clicking on the Video Experiment resulted in getting the Visual Shot Term Memory one.
