Working memory test battery for young adults: Computerized working memory assessment

Time course of the stimulus presentation in the letter delayed match-to-sample task. A black “+” symbol is displayed at the center of the screen for 500 ms as a reminder to the participants to pay attention. Subsequently, a blank screen is displayed for approximately 600 ms before a letter loop appears. In a clock-like loop, 4–12 upper case letters are displayed in a random order for 1,500 ms each. After the letter loop disappears, the screen remains blank for 1,300–1,800 ms before a lowercase letter appears at the center of the screen for a further 1,500 ms. Participants must determine whether this letter was among the letters in the clock-like loop (irrespective of case). Subsequently, another blank screen is displayed for 1,000 ms, after which the task ends.
