SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: each day for 21 days

The "Digit Span Backward" task was part of the SoSci-Survey as obtained at each day for 21 days. Twelve digits were presented to the participants at each timepoint. Measured were the correctly remembered digits per timepoint (Range 0-12). The outcome reported is based on individual means over 21 days.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: each day for 21 days

Based on the "Red Button Task" task which was part of the SoSci-Survey as obtained at each day for 21 days. A gray circle was presented on a screen. The circle changed the color to red, and the participants had to push a button as soon as they noticed the change. Reaction time was measured in milliseconds. The outcome reported is based on individual means over 21 days.
