This folder holds 2 similar but different flanker tasks. In the young folder is an experiment for small children and in the old folder is an experiment for older children.
The target is flanked by distracting stimuli which correspond either to the same directional response as the target (congruent flankers), to the opposite response (incongruent flankers), or to neither (neutral flankers). The test can be used to assess the ability to suppress responses that are inappropriate in a particular context.
The task is response contingent, that is the target + flankers are displayed until the participant responses. After the response the new target is displayed according the Response Stimulus Interval (RSI) in the table with test items. In the current example trials with different RSI values exist, 200, 500 and 700 ms respectively.
Randomization is according to these rules:
- No rules, they are pseudo randomized with no constraints on item order.
