Questions and instructions

Question pretext

Show the card

Literal question

I am now going to show you a card with several numbers written on it. I will show you the card for 10 seconds. I will then wait 10 seconds, and ask you to repeat the numbers back to me. For example, if I showed you this card:
[INTERVIEWER: pull out card with three digits on it and show it to the owner.]
Then you would look at this card, remember the numbers, and after 10 seconds repeat back to me 7-5-2.
Okay, let's start with a card with 4 numbers on it.
