Summary

Web-based Stop-Signal Tasks (SST) offer a viable alternative to laboratory settings for assessing response inhibition. While independent testing showed slightly reduced accuracy, it maintained reliable measures of inhibitory control, enhancing research accessibility.

Area of Science:

  • Cognitive Psychology
  • Neuroscience
  • Behavioral Science

Background:

  • Response inhibition, a key aspect of behavioral impulsivity, is crucial for goal-directed actions.
  • The Stop-Signal Task (SST) is a standard laboratory method for assessing response inhibition.
  • Laboratory-based SSTs face limitations in sample size, diversity, cost, and generalizability, potentially hindering research.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To compare the efficacy of a web-based Stop-Signal Task (SST) administered independently versus in a laboratory setting.
  • To determine if independent, web-based SSTs yield comparable results to traditional laboratory assessments of response inhibition.

Main Methods:

  • A web-based SST was developed using HTML and JavaScript.
  • A counterbalanced design was used with 166 participants completing both independent and laboratory SSTs.
  • Statistical analyses included dependent samples t-tests and correlational analyses on stop-signal reaction times (SSRT).

Main Results:

  • 123 participants completed both testing conditions.
  • Independent SSTs showed lower accuracy and reduced inhibitory control compared to laboratory SSTs.
  • A significant positive correlation was found between SSRTs from independent and laboratory conditions (r=.48, P<.001).

Conclusions:

  • A web-based SST is a suitable and accessible tool for measuring response inhibition.
  • Independent web-based testing overcomes limitations of laboratory-based assessments, broadening research possibilities.
  • This approach enhances the potential for larger, more diverse samples and improved generalizability of findings.
