We thought the ideal task to test both of these hypotheses was the Sternberg Task.

⭐5 levels of difficulty
⭐Response time increases with items in working memory (see fig - look at that lovely line!)
⭐ ideal for testing both limited slots in working memory and arousal hypotheses ⭐

Older adults use less random exploration, so how does this happen?

We focus on the drift diffusion model, where evidence for a decision is noisily accumulated over time, until it passes the threshold for one option or the other.
