Read full description

The iOS app "C2 Stroop Task" is intended for those who are interested in cognitive psychology, those who are learning cognitive psychology, and those who are researching it. * The effect of the Stroop task appears as a difference in time to perceive text color in the following two cases, for example. ・text color = red, text = "red" (compatible) ・text color = red, text = "green" (incompatible) This app allows you to see the Stroop effect numerically. The iOS app "C2 Stroop Task" records the response time of a stroop task (task conflict) in milliseconds. Response time is the time from when the task is displayed to when the answer button is touched (touchdown). The recorded data can be output to a CSV file and read into a spreadsheet application such as Excel. Language settings can be made by editing the words for each color, so any language that can be entered from the keyboard can be set. You can set the intertrial interval, number of tasks, compatibility rate, color selection, position, size, background color, whether to shuffle the answer buttons, etc. [details] https://app.brain-workout.org/strooptask-e/

N-Back Buddy: Scientific Working Memory Training N-Back Buddy is a professional implementation of the N-Back task, one of the most well-researched cognitive training paradigms for working memory enhancement. Originally developed by Wayne Kirchner in 1958 and popularized by Susanne Jaeggi's research, the N-Back task has become a cornerstone tool in cognitive psychology and neuroscience research. What is the N-Back Task? The N-Back task challenges your working memory by requiring you to remember and match stimuli from N steps back in a sequence. As the "N" increases (1-back, 2-back, 3-back, etc.), the cognitive demand increases proportionally, making it an excellent adaptive training tool for working memory capacity. Key Features: Multiple stimulus modalities (visual, auditory, dual N-Back) Adjustable difficulty levels (1-back through 9-back) Clean, distraction-free interface optimized for testing Comprehensive performance tracking and statistics Configurable session duration and stimulus timing Export data for research analysis No ads, no subscriptions - designed for serious use Who Uses N-Back Buddy? Cognitive psychology researchers conducting working memory studies Neuroscience labs investigating executive function Clinical researchers studying cognitive training interventions Students and professionals seeking evidence-based brain training Anyone interested in scientifically-validated cognitive enhancement Research-Grade Implementation: N-Back Buddy follows established protocols from the cognitive psychology literature, ensuring that the task parameters match those used in published research. This makes it suitable for both personal cognitive training and as a research tool in academic settings. Privacy First: All data stays on your device. Optional data export allows you to analyze your performance using your preferred tools. Whether you're a researcher needing a reliable N-Back implementation, a student learning about working memory, or someone committed to evidence-based cognitive training, N-Back Buddy provides the tools you need in a professional, no-nonsense package.
