The app for the Flanker Task Flanker Buddy by Research Buddies This application is based on the 'Eriksen flanker task' which measures selective attention and cognitive control by recording how quickly and accurately users respond to a central arrow surrounded by flanking distractors. Edit the number of trials per test, the maximum response time, the stimulus type (arrows or letters), the use of neutral trials and much more. Collect & Send the results directly to your personal email address. With our focus on usability the application can be used easily by anyone. Because of this it doesn't matter if your subjects are digital natives or people with zero to none tablet experience. Happy researching!
