Executive Function Assessment (Working Memory, Inhibitory Control, Cognitive Flexibility).
Built with Task Builder 1
This task measures executive function and is an online version of the Hearts and Flowers Task (Davidson et al., 2006; Diamond et al., 2007). The current task was designed for children to participate independently, without the presence of a researcher. This current task uses keyboard input only and all instructions are read out loud via audio recordings.
Participants are presented with trials of either a heart or a flower that appear either on the left or right side of the screen. If participants see a heart, they are asked to press a key on the same side as the presented heart (congruent trials). If participants see a flower, they are asked to press a key on the opposite side of the presented flower (incongruent trials). Participants complete multiple blocks of trials. Block 1 consists congruent trials (20 trials) . Block 2 consists incongruent trials (20 trials). Block 3 consists of a mix of both congruent trials (10 trials) and incongruent trials (10 trials). Participants have 1.5 seconds to respond on each trial.
