This study introduces the Open-Source Anticipated Response Inhibition (OSARI) task, a free tool for studying inhibitory control. OSARI offers an accessible alternative to traditional stop-signal tasks for researchers.
Area of Science:
- Cognitive Psychology
- Neuroscience
Background:
- The stop-signal paradigm is widely used to study inhibitory control.
- The choice-reaction variant is most common, but anticipated response inhibition tasks offer advantages.
- Existing anticipated response inhibition tasks are not openly available, hindering research.
Purpose of the Study:
- To present an open-source, free, and ready-to-use version of the anticipated response inhibition task.
- To facilitate wider adoption and research in inhibitory control using this task variant.
Main Methods:
- Development of a novel software implementation for the anticipated response inhibition task.
- Ensuring the task is open-source, free, and user-friendly for researchers.
Main Results:
- The creation and release of the Open-Source Anticipated Response Inhibition (OSARI) task.
- OSARI provides a functional and accessible tool for researchers.
Conclusions:
- The OSARI task addresses the need for accessible tools in inhibitory control research.
- This open-source resource is expected to increase the use and study of anticipated response inhibition.
