Staff, students and general public needed for research study.
Participants will gather intelligence with two others about a mock terrorist attack to later recall as much information as possible.
What will participants be doing?
The purpose of this study is to examine how groups work together to memorise information. This is to help determine effective strategies for groups working together which may be beneficial for memory recall. This information can be helpful in the context of undercover intelligence officers who need to work together as a team whilst remembering large amounts of important information.
You and two others will be working together as a team of undercover secret agents to gather intelligence about a mock 'planned terrorism attack'. You will have up to 20 minutes to gather intelligence on your undercover mission.
Your task is to remember as much accurate information as possible to recall later in an interview.
Duration
