Then watch a short movie before having their memory tested. I notice that the experiment seems to slow down towards the end. The movies are presented for longer than they should be and they stutter. The experiment then also takes several seconds maybe 10 or more to quit after the final trial. The computer is then very slow to restore the windows and the performance is slow immediately after running the experiment. Can somebody advise me why this is and what I can do to prevent these issues. Best Kevin This very much sounds like the stimuli (here:probably primarily the videos) are simply exhausting the system's available resources.
