Title of the research project: Perception, memory, and decision-making
What is the purpose of the study?
The purpose of this study is to find out more about human perception, memory, and decision-making.
Only people over the age of 18 have been invited to take part in this study.
Do I have to take part?
Participation is voluntary. We will ask you to tick a box to show you have agreed to take part.
You are free to withdraw at any time by closing your internet browser, without giving a reason and without consequence.
Should you wish to withdraw your data after completion you can email the researcher, within four weeks of study completion, quoting your SONA ID number (no reason needs be provided).
What will happen to me if I take part?
The study is split into two parts.
During part 1, you will be required to study lists of words, pictures, or short video clips on a computer screen.
Following a delay period, you will be asked to complete part 2, where you will be asked to make decisions about those pictures, words, or videos, or remember what those pictures, words or details about the video were.
In total, participation for part 1 and part 2 will take approximately 20-30 minutes (10-15 minutes for each part).
What are the rewards for taking part?
You will receive one SONA credit (if taking part via SONA) for completing the experiment. You will not lose any credits if you do not complete the experiment or if you request to withdraw your data after completion.
Are there any risks from taking part?
There are no risks, the material to be presented is mundane and not distressing.
Will my taking part in the study be kept confidential?
Your data will not be associated with your name, only your SONA ID number
Data will be collected on secure servers at the University of Aberdeen.
Once data collection is complete, the data will be collated and stored on the University of Aberdeen web servers.
What will happen to the results of the research study?
The overall findings may be submitted for publication in a scientific journal or presented at scientific conferences. Following scientific publication, data will be aggregated (combined on spreadsheet) and made available to other researchers in aggregate and SONA ID numbers will be stripped from the data before it is shared.
After project completion, anonymised data will be openly available on the Open Science Framework (OSF) website (https://osf.io).
The data will also be preserved and accessible for at least three years.
You will be able to obtain general information about the results of this research by contacting the researcher.
