Descripción
¿Qué tan bien te concentras cuando estás distraído? ¡Pon a prueba tu memoria en nuestro juego de la isla! Este juego es parte de un proyecto de investigación de la facultad de Wabash College. Para más información sobre nuestro proyecto, visita nuestra página web en http://www.behaviorgames.com/Kong.php
Cómo jugar
Usa las flechas (o WASD) para moverte. Esc pausa el juego. En cada ronda, encuentra el cubo de piedra que está oculto en uno de los pedestales alrededor de la isla. Ganarás más puntos si lo encuentras al primer intento (revisando la menor cantidad de pedestales posible). En algunas rondas, se te dará una cadena corta de letras para recordar (como "ZVQ"). Intenta recordarlas durante toda la ronda. No las escribas, pero puedes repetirlas mentalmente mientras buscas el cubo. ¡Si recuerdas las letras, recibirás un bono al final de la ronda!

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).
