APPENDIX Ia

Actors' Checklist

Please read carefully before filling in the checklist.

Thanks for accepting to participate, on a purely voluntary basis, in this study, which shall focus on working memory in meditators, contemporary actors and matched control groups. This research is part of a B. Psychology (Hons.) dissertation recognised by the University of Malta, and is being carried out by a fourth year student.

Please fill in this short questionnaire by ticking the appropriate answers. The questionnaire is essential as preliminary groundwork for the working memory experiments run on a computer programme, which are at the core of the study. The replies on the questionnaire are strictly confidential, so please do not write your name on it. However, give your name, address and telephone number (e-mail as well if available) to Mr Frank Camilleri, with whom I shall be directly in touch. Later I shall contact you again to verify whether you are still interested in participating in the study, by undergoing the working memory tests themselves.

For further details about the study do not hesitate to contact me on 46 68 29 or by e-mail at <nadya@nextgen.net.mt>.

Thanks for your help and patience,

Nadia Farrugia
