The Simon task is a psychological test where participants respond to the color of a stimulus, ignoring its spatial location, to measure the effect of spatial cues on reaction time and cognitive control.

A test of working memory, participants see a series of numbers and must remember if this number is the same as the Nth previously.

A demo based on The Attention Network Task (Fan et al. 2002).

The Choice Reaction Time Task (Deary & Liewald, 2011)

In this task participants are required to respond to all letter stimuli except from letter X (by pressing space). This task is based on Conners (2000) Continuous Performance Test.

In this task participants are required to press either left or right arrow key depending on which way the fish in centre is facing. Participants are required to ignore the direction of the surrounding fish. This is a children version of Flanker Task based on M. Rosario Rueda et al. (2004).

A demo based on the Eriksen Flanker paradigm. Participants respond to the direction of a central arrow, whilst ignoring distracting flankers.

A demo based on the Balloon Analogue Risk Task. Participants pump a balloon and try to cash in a prize before the balloon pops. Generally used as a measure of risk taking and decision making.

The Visual Preference for Facial Expressions task uses eye tracking to measure how long people look at different emotional expressions (like happy or sad faces) to understand attentional biases.

A minimalist antisaccade task measuring attention and response control, can be adapted for eye tracking.

A demo based on the Bilingual Stroop effect. Also demonstrates how to achieve a counterbalanced design.

Participants are presented with a series of numbers and must recall them by typing them into a box. The amount of numbers will increase, making the task harder and harder until we can measure the maximum amount of numbers a participant can remember.
