Semantic fluency tasks
Participants also completed two semantic fluency measures in the pre- and post-intervention tests. In the category fluency measure, they were asked to type as many objects of a certain type as they could in sixty seconds (“animals” in pre-test and “vegetables” in post-test). In the letter fluency measure, they typed as many words starting with a certain letter as they could in sixty seconds (“S” in pre-test and “M” in post-test). Order of the type of fluency test was counterbalanced across participants. Performance was calculated as the total number of unique items produced. This task served as a distractor task that separated the video watching and memory measure (free recall, recognition, and order) stages of the experiment. It also served as a measure to ensure that one workshop group did not excel more than the other in semantic fluency or typing ability, both of which could impact the evaluation of the free recall responses.
