What's Missing
The kids enjoy playing the game so much, I played with L for about 45 minutes, then Bug joined us, it was so fun!! This experiment is a variation of the previous experiment to test short
term memory. Get your tray and items and cloth ready again. This time
have you subjects view the items for 1 minute. Then cover the tray again.
Without the subjects seeing, REMOVE 1 item from the tray. Show the tray
and remaining items to your subjects again. Ask them, "What is missing?".
Can they guess what you removed?
- Try it again giving the subjects more time to view all the items.
- Try it with less time.
- Try it with more objects on the tray.
- Try it with fewer objects, but have your subject identify the missing object feeling the remaining objects without seeing them.
- Try it again, but this time remove 3-4 objects.
Materials:
- Tray or plate
- 10-20 small items (sponge, bolts, cookie cutter, paint brush, etc....)
- Cloth or towel to cover the tray
