Experiment 3 on the Effect of Sans Forgetica on Memory

Replication of Sans Forgetica team's original experiment, but removed the delay, and had participants read at their own pace.
Participants: 300 participants that are MTurk workers or psychology students from a university.
Design: manipulation of Sans Forgetica and Arial within-subjects.
Procedure: two phases conducted online.
- Phase One: participants read five passages at their own pace. In each passage, there are four paragraphs. One is in Sans Forgetica and the other three are in Arial.
- Phase Two: participants played a matching game for five minutes, and then their memory was tested for the passages. They were given 20 multiple-choice questions in Times New Roman. One question is related to one paragraph.
Results: there was no significant difference in the number of correct answers read in Sans Forgetica and Arial.
- This suggests that Sans Forgetica does not improve recall of information.
