Complete Test Battery

All tests use public-domain paradigms with automated server-side scoring. No licensing fees.

SRT2-3 min

Simple Reaction Time

Processing Speed

Measures basic processing speed by asking participants to respond as quickly as possible when a stimulus appears on screen.

CRT3-4 min

Choice Reaction Time

Attention

Measures attention and decision speed by requiring participants to select the correct response based on which stimulus appears.

GNG4-5 min

Go/No-Go Task

Executive Function

Measures response inhibition by requiring participants to respond to 'go' stimuli and withhold responses to 'no-go' stimuli.

Flanker4-5 min

Eriksen Flanker Task

Attention

Measures selective attention and cognitive control by requiring participants to identify the direction of a central arrow while ignoring flanking arrows.

Stroop4-6 min

Stroop Color-Word Test

Executive Function

Measures cognitive inhibition by asking participants to identify the ink color of color words, creating interference between reading and color naming.

1-Back3-4 min

1-Back Task

Working Memory

Measures working memory by requiring participants to indicate whether the current stimulus matches the one presented N items ago.

2-Back4-5 min

2-Back Task

Working Memory

Measures working memory by requiring participants to indicate whether the current stimulus matches the one presented N items ago.

DS5-7 min

Digit Span Test

Working Memory

Measures verbal working memory capacity by asking participants to recall sequences of digits in forward and backward order.

TMT-A2-3 min

Trail Making Test A

Processing Speed

Measures processing speed and visual scanning by asking participants to connect numbered circles in ascending order as quickly as possible.

TMT-B3-5 min

Trail Making Test B

Executive Function

Measures executive function and cognitive flexibility by asking participants to alternate between numbers and letters (1-A-2-B-3-C...).

PAL6-8 min

Paired Associate Learning

Episodic Memory

Measures visuospatial episodic memory by asking participants to learn and recall the locations of patterns hidden in boxes on a grid.
