upload person perception study

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.

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.

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.

The Posner spatial cueing paradigm.

Experimento que pondrá a prueba la memoria del participante. Se presentará una primer ronda de imágenes, y en la segunda ronda de imágenes el participante deberá oprimir "v" si la imagen apareció en la primer ronda, y deberá oprimir "f" si la imagen no apareció en la primer ronda.

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)
