In this task participants were asked to repeat a non-word (e.g., "grigre", "gamblen", "frofrat") that was presented to them in a random order. The task has four levels of difficulty and each level has 12 trials. Participants are scored based on the number of correct repetitions they make. The link of the program: UNWR Working Memory Task
