Summary
A new mobile app version of the Multi-Item Localization (MILO) task is now available. This tool facilitates research on temporal search context, prospective planning, and retrospective memory, proving reproducible findings.
Area of Science:
- Cognitive psychology
- Human-computer interaction
- Mobile application development
Background:
- The Multi-Item Localization (MILO) task is a valuable tool for studying temporal search context.
- Previous research has utilized MILO in basic and applied settings.
- A mobile platform can enhance the accessibility and application of the MILO task.
Purpose of the Study:
- Introduce a mobile app version of the MILO task.
- Describe the app's features, acquisition, installation, and modification.
- Validate the app's utility by reproducing established findings on prospective planning and retrospective memory.
Main Methods:
- Development of a mobile application for the MILO task.
- Provision of example data files for user guidance.
- Collection and analysis of two new empirical datasets to assess reproducibility.
Main Results:
- The MILO Mobile app is functional and accessible.
- Empirical data confirmed the reproducibility of prior findings on prospective planning.
- Evidence supports the reproducibility of retrospective memory effects, specifically inhibitory tagging, using the app.
Conclusions:
- The MILO Mobile app offers a flexible and accessible platform for temporal search context research.
- The app's design supports ongoing studies and future modifications.
- The MILO Mobile app has significant potential for both basic and applied research in cognitive science.
