We may periodically update some features of the tasks to improve their psychometric properties and measurement of attention control. Older versions of the tasks are still available for download, though are not advised to continue using in future research.

Sustained Attention-to-Cue Task

Version 1



Selective Visual Arrays

Set sizes 5 and 7



Flanker Adaptive Response Deadline
