PARTICIPANT CONSENT FORM
Empirical data collection of research project to assess individual differences in working memory capacity and visual distractibility with working memory load.
Brief description of research project:
This project is being conducted both in the laboratory and remotely online to collect a wide range of participants. A typical experiment will take around 60 minutes to complete and will require the completion of a cognitive task and a few questionnaires to explore individual variation in the effects. The cognitive task will be performed using Working Memory

Analyser, an open source free Psychology software to examine both individual differences in working memory capacity and the effect of working memory load on visual distractibility. Your voluntary participation will provide valuable insight into how our cognitive system works and that can inform cognitive theories of working memory and attention.

For this study, information will initially be saved to a secure online server which is hosted by Cognito forms and Qualtrics. These are well trusted and secure sites which are widely used and can only be access by the research team who have passcodes for these secure servers. For more information: https://www.cognitoforms.com/support/74/entries/data-security and https://www.qualtrics.com/security-statement/.

Personal data will be kept completely anonymised, and you will create your 7-digit “Participant ID code” to be assigned to your data.
The data will be written up as academic articles for publication in peer reviewed journals and presentation at academic conferences. Additionally, the anonymised data will be stored online on the Open Science Framework (https://osf.io/) which will facilitate sharing of scientific findings with other academics.

People aged 16 or over are entitled to consent to their own data collection. This can only be overruled in exceptional circumstances. Like adults, young people (aged 16 or 17) are presumed to have sufficient capacity to decide on their own data collection, unless there is significant evidence to suggest otherwise.
Children under the age of 16 must have a person with parental responsibility to give consent for them. This is even if the children are believed to have enough intelligence, competence and understanding to fully appreciate what is involved in their data collection.
This could be:
• the child’s mother or father
• the child’s legally appointed guardian
• a person with a residence order concerning the child
• a local authority designated to care for the child
• a local authority or person with an emergency protection order for the child
