About the Flanker Task

This task measures selective attention - your ability to focus on relevant information while ignoring distractors.

  • Congruent: All arrows point same direction (easy)
  • Incongruent: Flankers point opposite direction (hard)
  • Neutral: Flankers are dashes (baseline)
  • for left-pointing middle arrow
  • for right-pointing middle arrow

Flanker Effect = Incongruent RT - Congruent RT (how much distractors slow you down)
