Balloon Analogue Risk Task (BART)

The experiment: ——

This is a simplified (and prettified) version of the BART task by Lejuez et al (2002). Participants have to blow up a balloon that they know will burst at some point. They ‘earn’ rewards for getting the balloons to be larger, but increase the risk of bursting it, in which case they earn no reward for that balloon. The question is, how many times does someone pump each balloon trying to optimise their rewards.

The measure is designed to quantify individual differences in risk-taking.

Analysing your data: ——

You should filter out data where the balloon burst and measure the number of pumps made for the remaining trials.

Notes: ——

WARNING: This is an advanced demo involving lots of code components

This can be extended to be more similar to the original paper by adding further colours of balloons with different bursting profiles.

Group

Go/no-go task based on Redick et al.’s (2011) article “Working Memory Capacity and Go/No-Go Task Performance: Selective Effects of Updating, Maintenance, and Inhibition”.

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).

Text Input using text and code component

This is a simple demonstration showing how to take keyboard inputs and present them on screen using a text component.

You will be presented with a target word. Following the target presentation, you will be asked to type the target word on screen, from memory.When you have finished typing the word, press "return" to end the trial.
