Experiment Instructions
In this experiment, you will see a series of words presented on the screen.
Your task is to indicate the colour each word is presented in (e.g. for the word GREEN, the
correct response would be ‘brown’).
If you respond incorrectly, you will need to respond again until you provide the correct answer.
To answer ‘black’, press ‘G’ on your keyboard. For ‘brown’, press ‘H’. For ‘green’, press ‘J’.
