Parametric Go No/Go Stop with Shapes 2target, 3 target, 6 blocks

In this task participants are required to press either left or right arrow key depending on which way the fish in centre is facing. Participants are required to ignore the direction of the surrounding fish. This is a children version of Flanker Task based on M. Rosario Rueda et al. (2004).

In this task, participants are required to judge whether a string of letters is a word or a non-word. This experiment is based on Meyer & Schvaneveldt (1971) experiment.

In this task participants are required to memorise a sequence of square locations. Square position presentation is interrupted by symmetry trails. In symmetry trials participants are required to judge whether the presented picture is vertically symmetrical. Square presentation and symmetry trials are repeated until participants are asked to recall all square locations in sequential order. This experiment is based on Kane et al. (2004) experiment.

Exam project for the course Social and Cultural Dynamics

This is a stroop task I made via a follow along video to learn PsychoPy.

Posner made for feb workshop

First upload of task for P03

In this task participants are required to judge which line is longer than the other. This experiment is based on illusion devised by Franz Carl Müller-Lyer in 1889.

Facial Emotion Perception Test — Five finger, multi-racial, w/ animal controls, index 1

Teaches participants Chinese numbers up to 10 and tests their knowledge with 114 simple plus and minus sums

The Attention Network Task (Fan et al., 2002).

Sustained Attention to Response Task

In this task participants are required to memorise and recall number series in order. Participants start out with three 3-digit sequences. If participants correctly recall 2 out of 3 three sequences, they progress to 4-digit sequence trials and so on. If participants respond incorrectly on 2/3 trials the experiment terminantes. This experiment is based on the original digit span experiment by Jacobs (1887).

A forward and Backward Digit Span test for Working Memory The test adapts to participnts' answers and a score is calculated following Woods et al. (2012)

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

In this experiment participants are required to respond whenever the stimulus (square) location matches its location the previous trial (N-back-1). N-back-2 trials involve responding whenever the location of the square is the same as its location 2 trials before. This task is based on Kirchner (1958) experiment.
