The 4 orders of a balanced Latin square, each test as its number in the list above
Order	1st	2nd	3rd	4th
1	1 Dot-Probe Task	2 Emotional Stroop Task	4 Monetary Incentive Delay	3 Effort Discounting Task
2	2 Emotional Stroop Task	3 Effort Discounting Task	1 Dot-Probe Task	4 Monetary Incentive Delay
3	3 Effort Discounting Task	4 Monetary Incentive Delay	2 Emotional Stroop Task	1 Dot-Probe Task
4	4 Monetary Incentive Delay	1 Dot-Probe Task	3 Effort Discounting Task	2 Emotional Stroop Task

A study run in this square can measure each test's position effect and the carryover each test leaves on the next.

Numbers are places in the list above. A study started from this battery gives everyone that order, or rotates it and stays this battery.

Published evidence

A battery takes the grade most of its tests reach. A minus means some tests have a lower grade, and a battery is never more than one letter above its weakest test. The study builder grades every study the same way.

Grade B: every graded test has at least grade B published evidence. 1 test has grade A evidence and 3 have grade B.

Grade A needs at least 25 test-retest papers and 25 registered clinical studies for each test. Emotional Stroop Task has 10 test-retest papers; Effort Discounting Task has 14 test-retest papers; Monetary Incentive Delay has 15 test-retest papers.

Grade B means at least 8 test-retest papers, and either 5 registered clinical studies or 150 reliability or validity papers.

Grades describe the published research on each task, not this battery or ConductCognition's version of it. Source: ConductCognition test census 0.39.0, counted 31 October 2026 from OpenAlex and ClinicalTrials.gov. See every test's counts or every battery's grade

Example report

Participant report

Example data

Test	Main score	Result	Session quality
Dot-Probe Task	Attentional Bias	8.3 ms	Valid
Emotional Stroop Task	Emotional Interference	18 ms	Valid
Effort Discounting Task	Mean Subjective Value	71.1%	Valid
Monetary Incentive Delay	Anticipatory Speeding	15.8 ms	Valid

No test in this battery has a reference group yet, so the report shows raw scores.

In a study, the report lists every score of each test, a percentile where a published norm covers the test and the participant's age, and each session's quality.

Price

Each participant uses one credit, however many tests: $0.99 for academic research or $2.49 for commercial research. Every account starts with 10 free participants, and yearly plans include participants each year. Compare plans
