Standard tasks
This page provides an overview of standard tasks with a high re-use potential that have been implemented in OpenSesame.
Overview
Available tasks
CombiTVA
This is an open implementation of the CombiTVA paradigm (Vangkilde, Bundesen & Coull, 2011) in OpenSesame.

Conjunctive continuous performance task
Conjunctive Continuous Performance Task (CCPT) is a sustained attention test developed and validated by Shalev et al (2011). This is the visual variant of the CCPT implemented in OpenSesame. Available in English and German.

Implicit association test (IAT)
This is a standard Implicit Association Test created using OpenSesame. It has been adapted to suit creativity research, but you can modify the template for your purposes easily

Mini version of the New York Cognition Questionnaire
New York Cognition Questionnaire (NYC-Q) is a questionnaire probing the content and form of self generated thoughts (mindwandering). This is a minimal version of the NYC-Q suitable for using after behavioural tests or resting state fMRI scans. Available in English and German.

Mouse-tracking
Spivey, Grosjean and Knoblich (2005) introduced the mouse-tracking paradigm, in which participants’ mouse trajectories are recorded as they move the cursor from a starting point to click on one of two or more responses. The path of the mouse cursor can be analysed to infer instantaneous attraction towards competing responses over the course of a trial.

Adding your own task
If you have implemented a task that you feel has a high re-use potential, we want to know about it! You can have your task included in this list in two ways:
- Edit this page on GitHub, add your experiment, and send a pull request. To do this, you need to have a GitHub account.
- This page on GitHub: https://github.com/smathot/osdoc/blob/master/content/standard-tasks.md
- Instructions on how to edit a page: /contribute/documentation
- Or drop a note on the forum to let us know about your experiment.
Please provide the following information:
- A description of your task.
- A (list of) developer(s).
- A URL where people can download the task.
- Citation information.
- A license, such as the GPL-3.
