Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to develop a new working memory (WM) task tailored for the Indian context, which also evaluates individuals' self-assessment of their performance through a metacognitive approach.
- Researchers used the ADDIE instructional design model to analyze needs, design the task, validate content, and conduct a pilot study to test its feasibility.
- Results showed the new Activity Ordering Task (AOT) effectively measures WM and reveals metacognitive insights, proving it to be a valuable tool beyond typical assessments.
Objectives: Health literacy (HL) about healthy cognitive aging is essential in preventing cognitive decline and promoting cognitive well-being. It is important that one such HL module should be scientifically designed, delivered in a technically sound manner to the audience, and specific to the context. The present study thus aimed at developing and validating educational multimedia about cognitive health.

Purpose: The current study aimed to profile vocal fold morphology, vocal fold symmetry, gender and task-specific data for vocal fold length (VFL) and vocal fold displacement velocity (VFDV) in young normophonic adults in the age range of 18-30 years using ultrasonography (USG).
Methods: Participants underwent USG across quiet breathing, /a/ phonation and /i/ phonation tasks, and acoustic analysis was conducted to explore the relationship between USG and acoustic measures.
Results: The study found that males have longer vocal folds than females, and overall greater velocities were observed in /a/ phonation, followed by /i/ phonation, with the lowest velocity observed in the quiet breathing task.
