Exploring how well we remember past events in our lives in response to different cues
In this study we are investigating how well people can remember events they experienced in their lives.
This study consists of several tasks related to memory. First, you will be asked to perform a questionnaire about your general mood. Then you will carry out several computerised tasks. You will be asked to generate autobiographical memories in response to different cues. Cues will be common words (for example, house) displayed on the screen. In another task, you will be asked whether words could help you in generating autobiographical memories or not. The procedure will be explained by the experimenter prior to the study. If you need more details, you can contact the researchers using the contact details below.
