Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
The study will take place on 3 separate days. Preferably 2 -3 days in -between testing days.
* Participants will sign an electronic consent form to sign and agree to participate. It will explain the study in detail.
* Participants will then be asked to take two executive function tests online. These test will be sent electronically through email. This is for practice. These tests take approximately 6-7 minutes.
* We will schedule one day where the participant will play a first -person shooter game. Prior to playing the participants will be take to take the two executive function tests.
* On one day the participant will be asked to stop after the first hour (they will be allowed to finish the test) they will either walk for 6 minutes near their computer or rest for 6 minutes. Participants will be contacted through cell phones or discord.
* Game play will resume normally for another hour. When that hour is completed the participant will be asked to take the two online tests again.
* This will be 2 days. The third day the participant will take the online tests and play continuous for 2 hours with no break and then repeat the online tests.
