Procedure

Step 1: Starting the Experiment

• Launch the experiment.
• Press the spacebar to begin the task.

Step 2: Presenting the Trial

• A series of trials will appear on the screen.
• Each trial will display a visual stimulus (e.g.,text "LEFT" or "RIGHT").
• The stimulus will be shown either on the left or right side of the screen.

Step 3: Providing Instructions

• You will receive instructions to press specific keys based on the identity and but not location of the stimulus:
  • Press the "A" key for a "LEFT" stimulus.
  • Press the "L" key for a "RIGHT" stimulus.

Step 4: Manipulating Stimulus and Response Locations

• The location of the stimulus (left or right) will vary independently of the required response.
• The experiment will include two types of trials:
  • Congruent Trials: The stimulus location matches the response (e.g., a left stimulus requires a left key press).
  • Incongruent Trials: The stimulus location does not match the response (e.g., a left stimulus requires a right key press).

Step 5: Recording Performance

• You must respond as quickly and accurately as possible for each trial and press the correct key based on the stimulus.

Step 6: Collecting Data

• The experiment will record the following metrics:
  • Response Time: How quickly you respond to the stimulus.
  • Accuracy: Whether you press the correct key.
