A Psychopy implementation of a working memory span task

Working memory tests on JavaScript (digit span, operation span, visual array, spatial span)

Sternberg Working Memory Task demo.

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)

This is code for the replication of Seli et al. (2016), which is part of the Collaborative Replication and Education Projects (CREP). I share this for other to try out and use.

Note that this public experiment only involves 2 blocks of 45 trials for piloting purposes. The code in the routine SetBlockLengths allows you to change this (to 20 if you are replicating Seli et al., 2016).

Also note that I disabled actual submitting of data by Never stopping the routine Debrief. This means you can only exit the experiment by pressing 'Esc' and closing the browser window. My settings on Pavlovia are such that in that case no data is saved. If you use this for your own experimentation, you should in the routine Debrief change the settting of Debrief_mouse: 'End routine on press' to 'valid click'.

In this experiment participants are required to respond whenever the stimulus (square) location matches its location the previous trial (N-back-1). N-back-2 trials involve responding whenever the location of the square is the same as its location 2 trials before. This task is based on Kirchner (1958) experiment.

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.

Animal stroop task - based on Reynvoet et al 2021 and adapted for children In the Animal Stroop tasks, participants are instructed to respond to one piece of relevant information about a stimulus while ignoring the other, often more salient, piece of information. Two animals picture are presented on each trial simultaneously. Participants need to indicate which animal is larger in real life and ignore the size of the image. Two large animals (elephant or bear) coupled with two small animals (rabbit or butterfly) are presented. 1/2 congruent trials: the image of the larger real-life animal (elephant or bear) is larger than the smallest animal (butterfly or rabbit). 1/2 incongruent trials: the image of largest real-life animal is presented smaller than the image of the smallest real-life animal. Stimuli are a total of 16 pairs: 2 small animals x 2 large animals x 2 size (congr|incongr) x 2 sides (left|right) 16 practice trials with feedback; 48 test trials fixation cross 500ms Stimulus on the screen until a response is given. Blank screen 500ms Response: 'f' key for left, 'j' for right Inhibition is measured by an interference score for each task by subtracting the mean response time (RT)/mean accuracy on correct congruent trials from the mean RT/mean accuracy on correct incongruent trials.
