The effect of video games on visual attention

Enumeration (subitizing)

In this experiment, between 1 and 9 small white squares are flashed briefly in a small area of the screen.

On each trial, your task is to observe and then respond with how many you think were there. In the above image, you would respond with the number 6. Use only the numbers at the top of your keyboard. Speed is important, but accuracy is more so. Try to think back and count how many there were if you need to.

If you need to look at these instructions while the experiment is in progress, you must minimize the experiment window. Once you're finished with the instructions, maximize the experiment window, click on the active movie to unpause it, and then continue.
