"Sandwich Builder: A Gamified Assessment Tool for Language Research"
(Announcement of 2023 Winners)
With this Gorilla & Prolific Grant, I will develop a "gamified" working memory assessment tool called Sandwich Builder using Gorilla’s Game Builder.
Participants will be recruited through Prolific to validate Sandwich Builder as an assessment of working memory (and an engaging game!). Sandwich Builder will be made available to other researchers through Gorilla’s Open Materials.
