Are the objects the same?

Unfortunately, this study does not work in your current browser. Please use Chrome, Firefox, or Safari. Sorry!

In this experiment, you will perform a simple memory task.

On each trial, you'll see 5 images of objects randomly placed in a grid. These images will flash very briefly, and your goal is to remember all the images.

After they appear briefly, the images will disappear. Then, another set of 5 images will appear.

Your task is to say whether these 5 images are the same as the initial 5 images, or if one of the images changed.

If all the objects are the same, click the "S" key on your keyboard; if one is different, click the "D" key on your keyboard.

Please make these judgments as fast as you can, while still making sure you get them right!

We realize this may be quite hard at times, but please do your best to remember the initial images and detect any changes.
