Hey :)
I took part in a research study recently where my memory and reaction time were tested. Some of them were:
The administrator read a list of words aloud to me. They were in groups of four, with a couple of seconds between each section. I was then asked to repeat as many of the words as I could remember, and order didn’t matter. There were some similarities in the types of words said. Each block of four had a gemstone, an animal, a miscellaneous word, and a place. The administrator (Andrea) read the list to me three times. After each time, I was asked to repeat all of the words.
Andrea would say a combination of words and numbers to me. I would then repeat them back to her in this format: numbers first in numerical order then letters in alphabetical order. She started out with easy ones such as ‘4 F 3 D’ which would be ‘3,4 DF’.
I was shown a sheet of paper for ten seconds. On the paper were 6 symbols. I was supposed to memorize the symbols as best I could and then draw them myself. I had three attempts to look and then draw the symbols.
Sorry for the format of my suggestions--I wrote up a summary for my AP psych class...
If you need any more help, you can email me (I also have some explanation as to what each test was testing for).
