Online Stroop task builder with jsPsych-style data

A good online Stroop task needs balanced conditions, clear key mapping, and trial rows that make every stimulus-response pair auditable.

Task flow

The core flow usually includes instructions, practice, formal trials, and completion. Practice feedback helps participants learn response keys.

  • Instructions
  • Practice
  • Formal trials
  • Completion

Stimulus table

Congruent and incongruent trials should be balanced enough for simple comparisons and easy audit.

  • word
  • ink_color
  • congruency
  • correct_key

Smoke test

The runtime check should confirm that key presses advance trials, correctness is computed, and final data uploads succeed.

  • Key path
  • Correctness
  • Completion
  • Upload

FAQ

What is a Stroop task?

A Stroop task compares responses to congruent and incongruent color-word stimuli to study interference and attention control.

What should an online Stroop task include?

Use clear instructions, practice trials, balanced conditions, response key mapping, feedback rules, and trial-level data fields.

What data should be exported?

Export stimulus word, ink color, congruency, response key, correctness, reaction time, block label, and trial index.
