The Collective Trust Game is a computer-based, multi-agent trust game based on the HoneyComb paradigm, which enables researchers to assess the emergence of collective trust and related constructs, such as fairness, reciprocity, or forward-signaling. The game allows detailed observations of group processes through movement behavior in the game.

An Introduction to Learning and Memory

Learning is the process of acquiring new information and memory is the retention or storage of that information. Different types of learning, such as non-associative and associative learning, and different types of memory, such as long-term and short-term memory, have been associated with human behaviors. Studying these components in detail helps behavioral scientists understand the neural mechanisms behind these two complex phenomena. JoVE's overview on learning and memory introduces common...

A Cognitive Paradigm to Investigate Interference in Working Memory by Distractions and Interruptions

A novel cognitive paradigm is developed to elucidate behavioral and neural correlates of interference by to-be-ignored distractors versus interference by to-be-attended interruptors during a working memory task. In this manuscript, several variants of this paradigm are detailed, and data obtained with this paradigm in younger/older adult participants is reviewed.

Measuring Verbal Working Memory Span

Source: Laboratory of Jonathan Flombaum—Johns Hopkins University Why is it relatively hard to remember everything on a shopping list if it includes more than just a handful of items? Why is it possible to remember a phone number that one just heard, but not two or three phone numbers at once? Why is it difficult to remember names when several new people are introduced at the same time? The answer has to do with the fact that over short-durations people rely on a specialized memory system...
FAQs
Separating accuracy, response time, and errors helps distinguish different stages of performance. Accuracy can indicate successful retrieval, whereas response time may reveal processing demands even when choices are correct. Error patterns provide additional evidence about memory or attention. Examining these measures together gives behavioral researchers a more informative account than relying on correct responses alone.
Feedback and repeated trials make the task sensitive to learning, not just initial memory. Changes in accuracy, response time, errors, or strategy across trials can show whether participants are improving and how their approach changes. This allows researchers to examine learning mechanisms alongside memory performance, while separating early task acquisition from later, more practiced behavior.
Different versions emphasize different cognitive demands. A card-matching arrangement can highlight recognition of stimulus identities, whereas an object-location arrangement can emphasize spatial memory. The same task family can also engage working memory, attention, and decision-making, so researchers interpret performance in relation to the stimuli, choices, and information participants must retain.
A basic session begins with observation of stimulus positions or identities, followed by a search or choice among alternatives. Researchers then provide feedback and repeat trials when the design calls for learning measurements. Recording accuracy, response time, errors, and strategy changes during this sequence makes it possible to track both immediate performance and change over time.
Materials and task structure can be adapted to the study population. Researchers may use cards or objects arranged by identity or location, then vary how participants observe and choose among them. Because the paradigm works with people or animals and across ages, its design can be matched to the population while preserving comparable behavioral measures.
In behavioral research, the paradigm supports questions about cognitive development, learning mechanisms, neurological disorders, and intervention effects. Comparing performance across ages, species, or intervention conditions can reveal differences in memory-related behavior without restricting the task to one population. Its flexibility also permits researchers to connect changes in accuracy, speed, errors, or strategy with broader cognitive outcomes.
