"Sandwich Builder: A Gamified Assessment Tool for Language Research"
Announcement of 2023 Grant Winners
With this Gorilla & Prolific Grant, I am developing a "gamified" short-term 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.
Learn more about Drew's progress toward creating Sandwich Builder in this webinar!
