Speeded arithmetic

Built with Task Builder 2

This is a version of the Math4Speed task (Loenneker et al., 2022) which was altered to be usable online.

It consisted of fifty addition, fifty subtraction, fifty multiplication and fifty division questions.

Participants are directed to type in the answer to the question and press enter to continue.

They answer as many questions as possible in 2 minutes.

We used the sum of correct trials across all operations as our metric of speeded arithmetic.
