Sandwich Builder is a "gamified" tool for assessing auditory short-term memory span.
On each trial, the participant must take a drive-thru customer’s sandwich order. The order will consist of a list of 1 to 10 ingredients (e.g., salami, cheddar cheese, mayo, and olives), presented auditorily. The participant needs to remember the sandwich toppings and then build the customer’s sandwich by selecting the necessary ingredients in the correct order.
Sandwich Builder (Version 1.02) is the version of the task validated in McLaughlin and Samuel (under review). Version 1.02 presents 1 practice and 12 test trials, increasing in difficulty after a successful trial or decreasing in difficulty after a failed trial.
Sandwich Builder, and its digital materials, were created/drawn by Dr. Drew J. McLaughlin. Please cite McLaughlin and Samuel (under review) if you re-use any part of the experiment or art. Most of the materials are available on OSF: https://osf.io/snmqt/files/osfstorage. Requests for additional materials should be addressed to d.mclaughlin@bcbl.eu.
Note: Version 1.02 assumes that the task initializes on the Level 6 spreadsheet! The spreadsheets are designed to present a guided practice trial (at Level 1) that is always scored as incorrect (0), forcing the participant to Level 5 as the starting point for test trial one. If you prefer a version of the task without a practice trial, see Version 1.01.
