The battery of laboratory memory and perception tests. In the backward masking test, participants attempted to identify a visually presented drug name that was immediately concealed by a visual mask (a row of XXX's). In the progressive demasking test, participants tried to detect a visually presented drug name that was gradually revealed from behind an obscuring visual mask (a row of ###'s). In the speech-in-noise test, participants attempted to identify an orally presented drug name played in background multitalker babble. In the short-term memory test, participants attempted to remember a visually presented drug name after solving a complex math problem. At the end of each trial on each test, participants made two responses: (1) a free recall response in which participants typed the target drug name that they saw or heard and (2) a two-alternative forced-choice response in which participants chose between the target drug name and a competitor drug name.
