Sustained Attention to Response Time Task (SART)

This SART task is modeled on the framework used in The Irish Longitudinal Study on Ageing (TILDA)

Participants must press a button (mouse or onscreen) in response to a series of digits and withold responses on the number 3)

Each digit appears for 300ms, with an interval of 800ms between digits. The cycle of digits 1–9 is repeated 23 times, giving a total of 207 trials. The task lasts approximately for 4min

Race categorization task in which participants are asked to respond 'black' or 'white' to faces presented for750 ms. The stimuli set comprises 16 face models (8 female; 8 male). Each model is presented in 11 racial morphing levels, totaling 176 trials +20 training trials. Response rate can be adjusted in an appropriate funcion (e.g., logistic) to calculate categorization threshold and slope. Developed by 'Grupo de Pesquisa em Percepção Visual' at University of Brasília, Brazil.

Open sourced Implicit Association Test (IAT) as a demonstration. This version will run locally in PsychoPy (mouse input) or online (including touchscreen input)

This experiment runs a working memory task similar to the distractor-based change detection task of Vogel Machizawa (2005) (see also Lenaert et al., 2016). Colored targets are shown in left & right visual field, attention is directed using a cue. Distractors can be presented in addition to targets.

Sustained Attention to Response Task

This is a different version of the Corsi-block tapping task in which you have to respond in the reversed order.

A simple lexical decision task to check stimuli.
