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

Sustained Attention to Response Task

A melodic choice task based on 5-note melodies from the Weimar Jazz Database

The classic Stroop task.

The aim of this study is to determine whether likeability ratings of novel food images will decrease after these images are paired together with obese, normal, thin body shapes. If you participate, you will be asked to rate a number of novel food stimuli on how much you think you would like them on a Likert scale from -100 (extremely dislike) to +100 (extremely like). You will then be shown these novel food items again, but each one will also be immediately be followed by an image of different body types (obese, normal, thin). An extinction phase will also be conducted where certain food and body image pairings will not be shown, and the food image will be shown without a body image being shown immediately after. Following these conditioning and extinction phases, you will then be asked to rate both the novel food images and body images using the same Likert scale which will show if your likeability rates differ after viewing the food images being paired with different body types.

The Simple Reaction Time Task (Deary & Liewald, 2011)

This is a modified version of the popular Go/Nogo paradigm based on the paper by Liebrand et al. (2017) FrontNeurosci, 11, 204. The task aims to measure proactive inhibition. In this version, response feedback has been added.

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).
