Built with Task Builder 1
The session begins with the encoding phase during which they are presented with 36 trials consisting of a picture of an animal, a category icon (i.e., move, eat, eyes) and the animal fact. Following the animal fact participants were asked to indicate prior knowledge of the fact to maintain engagement. Next, participants completed the practice test. Participants were presented with a picture of an animal and asked to recall the fact they learned about the animal. At the beginning of each trial participants were asked to give a confidence judgment (CJ) using a 3-point confidence scale. Following the confidence rating, participants were randomly presented with different trials including study, test, or hint trials. During the study condition, participants were presented with the category cue and full animal fact before moving on to the next trial. During the test condition, participants were prompted to recall the fact by typing their answer in a response box. During the hint condition, participants were given a category cue. The category cue consisted of the category image (moves, eyes, or eats) along with a recorded audio message (i.e., you learned this animal moves...). After the category cue, participants were prompted to recall the fact by typing in their answer. After submitting each response, during both the test and hint conditions participants were presented with the full correct animal fact to ensure all facts were presented the same number of times.

This session begins with the final memory test. Participants were randomly presented images of each studied animal. Participants were asked how confident they were that they remembered the fact using a 3-point confidence scale. Then, in the absence of hints, children were asked to recall the fact they had learned about the animal. If the task does not automatically start please click on the screen.
