I’ve done this in a few small groups, using:
the “this is an attention test” video (aka “how many passes does the team in white make”) - always a hit
a calibration exercise just as Larks suggests below, which works pretty well
the Wason card task—some people find it unconvincing “because it’s logic” (!)
a “learned helplessness” experiment using impossible anagrams—works so-so
a “priming” experiment where two groups have a phrase-building task with different priming words—my version of that sucks, need to rework it
I also show the Spinning Dancer often
