Can I run the Clock Drawing Task online?
Yes. ConductCognition runs the Clock Drawing Task in a browser-based participant flow with study setup, automated scoring, and export-ready results.
Executive Function
Clock Drawing Task
Collect timestamped drawing trajectories, replay every stroke, and export deterministic process measures in a browser-native research workflow.
Useful for aging, neurology, motor-planning, and remote cognitive research that needs command and copy drawing data without participant software downloads.

- Transparent pricing instead of opaque enterprise quoting for solo labs.
- Free entry tier plus Academic Research when you need the full battery and trial-level exports.
Paradigm overview
Clock Drawing is a brief visuoconstruction and executive-planning task. Participants construct an analog clock from instructions and may then copy an original model in a separate condition.
ConductCognition stores normalized timestamped strokes and reports deterministic process measures. This research-use implementation does not provide diagnostic labels, disease probabilities, or equivalence claims to paper or proprietary digitizing-pen products.

Research FAQ
Common questions about this online cognitive test
What does this test measure?
Clock Drawing Task is used for visuospatial organization, executive planning, semantic clock knowledge research workflows.
What data can researchers export?
Researchers can export scored results, and paid plans support trial-level exports for deeper analysis.
Is this for clinical diagnosis?
ConductCognition is for research use. The platform supports task delivery, scoring, and exports; clinical interpretation remains outside the platform.
