Can I run the Pattern Recognition Memory Task online?
Yes. ConductCognition runs the Pattern Recognition Memory Task in a browser-based participant flow with study setup, automated scoring, and export-ready results.
Episodic Memory
Pattern Recognition Memory Task
Measure old/new visual pattern recognition with procedural non-proprietary stimuli and automated scoring.
Useful for visual recognition-memory protocols, aging studies, and CANTAB-adjacent research batteries.

What this task measures
Measures visual pattern recognition by asking participants to recognize previously studied abstract patterns among novel foils.
Core constructs
- Visual recognition memory
- Pattern discrimination
- Medial-temporal memory
- Recognition sensitivity
Research fit
- Visual memory studies
- Aging and medial-temporal research
- CANTAB-comparison batteries
- Recognition-memory endpoints
Why researchers use ConductCognition
- Hosted browser delivery with no local install burden for participants.
- Study setup, scoring, exports, and participant links in one workflow.
- Transparent pricing instead of opaque enterprise quoting for solo labs.
- Free entry tier plus Academic Pro when you need the full battery and trial-level exports.
Paradigm overview
Pattern Recognition Memory presents abstract visual patterns for study and then asks participants to identify whether later patterns are old or new.
The first release ships the immediate-recognition condition. The delayed recognition phase is intentionally deferred until the study orchestrator can schedule a second PRM phase after intervening tasks.

Research FAQ
Common questions about this online cognitive test
What does this test measure?
Pattern Recognition Memory Task is used for visual recognition memory, pattern discrimination, medial-temporal memory 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.
