Response inhibition and stopping tasks¶
A prepared or prepotent response must be withheld or cancelled on a minority of trials; commission errors and stopping latency are the measures.
This family contains 4 tasks.
Anti-Saccade¶
Participants must suppress a prepotent saccade toward a peripheral cue and generate a voluntary saccade to the opposite location; errors and saccade latency index oculomotor inhibition. Engages 6 processes.
Go/No-Go¶
Responses required to frequent “go” stimuli must be withheld on rare “no-go” stimuli; commission errors and N2/P3 ERPs index response inhibition. Engages 5 processes.
Stop-Signal¶
Choice RT task in which an occasional stop signal requires response cancellation; stop-signal reaction time (SSRT) estimates inhibitory latency. Engages 5 processes.
Sustained Attention to Response¶
Speeded responses to frequent non-targets with withholding on rare targets; commission errors and RT variability index sustained attention lapses. Engages 5 processes.
Marked for review¶
The filing of these tasks is a judgement call; the note says why they are here and where else they could go.
