Sternberg-Type Working Memory Paradigm. Each trial consisted of four phases: (1) a fixation phase which lasted 1.0 s and functioned as the baseline (−0.4 to 0 s), (2) an encoding phase (blue text) which lasted 2.0 s and consisted of 6 letters being presented simultaneously within a grid, (3) a maintenance phase (red text) lasting 3.0 s where the six letters disappeared from the grid, and (4) a retrieval phase which lasted 0.9 s and required participants to respond as to whether the single letter probe was included in the original encoding set.
