Spatial cognition mobile app game

We asked respondents to download and use a game app for their smart phones. The data derived from playing this game can be used to measure spatial cognition, which is important in several aspects of life and is shown to be related to general cognition. This app is a game and is intended to be fun and less work than other app studies that IP respondents have been asked to complete in the past.

Respondents were randomly assigned to an incentive condition, half being offered £10 or £30 to participate. The allocation was at the individual level. The treatment allocation variable is in file p_indsamp_ip:

ff_navapincentw16 (1/2 each, allocations stratified by ff_incentw16 ff_perksw16 sampleorig)

1 = £10 conditional incentive

2 = £30 conditional incentive

The data collected by this app game are available in file p_sqh_results_ip. For documentation on this data file see Coutrot et al (2024).
