Task instructions (IMAGE)
Caption
After collecting participants' initial maximum strength using the handgrip device, participants were asked to grip the handgrip device at low (5%) or high (30%) levels of their grip strength while they complete the working memory task. Participants were given a few seconds with online monitoring to adjust their grip squeeze at the indicated level and were asked to maintain the grip force throughout the trial until the test display asked them to release the device. In the memory display, they were shown 3 red bars alone or 3 red bars surrounded by blue bars and were asked to remember the orientation of only the red bars. At test, participants were instructed to release the hand grip device and indicate if any of the red bars changed orientation.
