Experiments

Thirteen protocols: three for launch, ten planned. The launch instruments are in development, and each protocol goes through validation before release.

Status

13 protocols

  • Go/No-Go

    Response inhibition and impulsivity

    Respond quickly to one kind of cue and hold back on another.

    Launch, in development See the instrument
  • Stroop

    Selective attention and interference

    Name the ink colour of a word while ignoring what the word says.

    Launch, in development See the instrument
  • Mental Rotation

    Spatial visualisation

    Turn a knob to bring an on-screen 3D object or rotated letter into line with a target.

  • Approach-Avoidance

    Motivation and emotional bias

    Move towards some images and away from others, then compare the speed of each.

  • Simon Effect

    Spatial stimulus and response conflict

    Respond to a feature of a cue while ignoring which side of the screen it appears on.

  • Motor Stroop

    Inhibition of motor responses

    Make a required movement while a conflicting cue pulls towards a different one.

  • Finger Tapping

    Motor speed and coordination

    Tap as quickly and steadily as possible for a set time.

    Planned Ask about this
  • Wisconsin Card Sorting

    Cognitive flexibility

    Sort cards by a rule, then adapt when the rule changes without warning.

    Planned Ask about this
  • Digit Span

    Attention and working memory

    Repeat a growing list of digits, forwards or backwards.

    Planned Ask about this
  • Lexical Decision

    Visual word recognition

    Decide as quickly as possible whether a string of letters is a real word.

    Planned Ask about this
  • Memory Span

    Short-term memory capacity

    Recall a growing sequence of items in the order shown.

    Planned Ask about this
  • Decision Making

    Judgement and choice under risk

    Choose between options that differ in risk and reward.

    Planned Ask about this
  • Problem Solving

    Planning and reasoning

    Plan a series of moves to reach a goal.

Task descriptions give the general form of each task, as it is taught. They are not our protocols.

If your department needs a different paradigm, we can match the sensors, board and enclosure to it.
