To prevent such experiences, the researchers turned once again to Tetris. Volunteer nurses were asked to call to mind images that were bothering them as they played the game. As they did so, they were also asked to mentally rotate the bad memories in their mind. Each was asked to play the between 10 and 20 minutes per session, and all the volunteers carried out the exercise regularly over a four-week period. Afterward, all the volunteers were asked to rate any differences in the number of intrusive memory episodes they were experiencing.
