Sustained Attention to Response Time Task (SART)

This SART task is modeled on the framework used in The Irish Longitudinal Study on Ageing (TILDA)

Participants must press a button (mouse or onscreen) in response to a series of digits and withold responses on the number 3)

Each digit appears for 300ms, with an interval of 800ms between digits. The cycle of digits 1–9 is repeated 23 times, giving a total of 207 trials. The task lasts approximately for 4min

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.
