A self-rated questionnaire which assesses sleep quality and disturbances over a 1-month time interval. Nineteen individual items generate seven "component" scores: subjective sleep quality, sleep latency, sleep duration, habitual sleep efficiency, sleep disturbances, use of sleeping medication, and daytime dysfunction. The sum of scores for these seven components yields one global score. For more details, see reference.

Brief Implicit Association Test (B-IAT) as conceived by Sriram & Greenwald (2009), with class-based stimuli adaptation by Adam McNamara.
NB: This task is only to be used as an example structure/setup for an B-IAT task, and should not be run as an experiment in its current form. The original image stimuli for this task have been removed to prevent over-use of stimuli. They have been replaced with free-to-use images from Pixabay (https://pixabay.com/), and the images used have not been determined to be representative of the categories nor scientifically matched/determined.
Adapted for children to 4 blocks of 20 stimuli (12 Images, 8 words [with sound]).
There is a practise block of 16 stimuli. This consists of 2 * 8 stimuli presentations, where the stimuli are randomly picked (without replacement) from the 16 possible stimuli (8 images, 8 words).
There is an example R Analysis script in this GitHub repository, which analyses the data according to Nosek et al 2014.

This test is adapted from Mark Turner & Jacky Ridsdale 2001's assessment procedure for specialist teachers to investigate verbal memory difficulties in children’s learning.
There are two different versions of the spreadsheet/digit lists (List A & List B), so a pre-post intervention task can be run and counterbalanced, without any learning effects.
This task requires the use of Audio (to play the lists) and a microphone (to record your response), and has audio and microphone test screens to ensure participants are aware of this, and have the correct levels to do the task. It also allows participants the ability to "allow" Gorilla permission to use the microphone during the test, so this does not impact recording of the task.
You would ordinarily administer this until a participant fails on both trials at a particular digit span. This online test will collect all digit spans as it records the audio from the participant, and online analysis of whether this is correct or not is not possible. Therefore, *when scoring you need to only count up to the trial where a participant failed both trials, and discount any further trials.

Built with Task Builder 1
This test is adapted from Mark Turner & Jacky Ridsdale 2001's assessment procedure for specialist teachers to investigate verbal memory difficulties in children’s learning.
There are two different versions of the spreadsheet/digit lists (List A & List B), so a pre-post intervention task can be run and counterbalanced, without any learning effects. NB: Digit Forwards is always presented before Digit Backwards in both these lists.
This is a visual & text entry version of the audio one above. Text is on-screen for 500ms, with 500ms "gap" between numbers, meaning numbers presented every 1s as per "bedside" clinical test.
This task goes to the end of the condition (Digit Forwards or Digit Backwards) if a participant fails on both trials at a particular digit span. (Thanks to Dan Brady, University of Reading for starting coding this exit condition)
Scoring:
Standard scores & percential equivalents are available from Mark Turner & Jacky Ridsdale 2001
NB: it is possible to "cheat" on this task (and the audio one above). It has been brought to my attention by another researcher that their participants were writing down the numbers on paper as they came up, to enter in later. Although difficult, this is possible if people are quick at writing whilst looking at the screen. Alternatively, people can type out the numbers for the digit backwards into the text entry box, and then reverse them, deleting the initial part and getting the answer correct as if it was a digit forwards task. Both of these strategies (and likely more) can result in high, if not 100%, performance rates. I can think of no completely satisfactory way of preventing this from happening in such an online task, but it could be screened after collection: please see Jenni Rodd's great talk on data quality online. There might be longer reaction times if people are doing these tactics, but i don't think to the extent where they wouldn't overlap with others who just take a long time to answer correctly. High performance may be an indicator, and you could add longer lists. A "catch" trial/condition where it would be impossible without doing one of these tactics (e.g. a long number to remember at beginning of experiment, and only put in at end), but this might also impact the main experiment. Observing participants when doing this may be an option, but then it might be easier just to do the simple original audio "bedside" clinical version of the task where such cheating is not possible.
