Thank you for your willingness to consider participating in our study! Here are some answers to frequently asked questions.
Q: Do I have to download something to my smartphone/tablet? Is it safe?
A: Yes, the Brain Game Center at the University of California Riverside created a safe and simple smartphone/tablet app, which has been approved for use by Android and Apple users. Please note that the app does not access or collect any information stored on your smartphone or tablet like photos, contacts, passwords, GPS, location data, etc. Android users download the app from Google Play Store and Apple users from the Apple App store (simply type "Recollect the Study" in the search and download it). When the study is over, you can remove the app from your device.
Q: What exactly will I be doing?
A: If you decide to join this study, you will first need to download the “Recollect the Study” app on your smartphone/tablet. Then, you will use the app to play brain teaser games and answer a few survey questions.
For this study to be complete, you should complete 22 brain game sessions. We encourage to complete 2 sessions a day and at least 10 sessions per week.
Q: What if I can't complete sessions every day?
A: We are asking you to complete all the 22 sessions and encourage you to complete 2 sessions per day and at least 10 sessions per week. However, if you cannot complete a session every day, that is not a problem. Try your best to complete all 22 sessions.
[You will receive $1 per each session you complete and a $8 bonus if you complete all 22 sessions within 3 calendar weeks (counting from the day you do your first session). /You will receive $3 per each session you complete and a $4 bonus if you complete all 22 sessions within 3 calendar weeks (counting from the day you do your first session).]
