Research participants view a set of words serially.
The primary difference between this version of the experiment and the original version is the mode of testing. The word order is also randomly determined for each participant. Although the instructions stress completing the task quickly and that the words will only appear for a second, in actuality, the words remain on screen until the participants answer yes or no. After the delay, the participants complete a recognition task that intermixes 20 foils with the 20 original words in a new random order. After the recognition task, there is a screen indicating their results, and a debriefing screen that explains the details of the experiment.
