Computerized Flanker Task for Executive Function

A computerized assessment of executive function and response inhibition administered using the EPRIME software 2.0 (Psychology Software Tools, Inc.). The Flanker task required participants to indicate the direction, by button press, of a central target arrow flanked by congruent or incongruent arrows. Accuracy and response times were recorded with the differenced in response time between the congruent and incongruent conditions being the summary score (Sanders et al., 2018 (link)). Higher difference scores are considered poorer performance. For this analysis, the log of the ratio of median response times was used.
