What to do and say

A sample script of about 65 words. Say it your own way. Fill in the highlighted parts from your own run of the test, such as the numbers on your results screen.

  1. 0:00

    DoShow the rule: press the spacebar for a green circle, and nothing for a red one.

    SayOne rule. Press for green. Don't press for red.

  2. 0:05

    DoKeep going until you press on a red one.

    SayIt starts easy. But most circles are green, so pressing becomes a habit. And there it is. I pressed on a red one.

  3. 0:35

    DoExplain what a press on a no-go trial tells a researcher.

    SayResearchers call a press on red a commission error. Counting them shows how well someone holds back a response. I held back on [No-Go accuracy] of the red circles.

What viewers should learn

A press on a no-go trial is a commission error. Researchers count these errors to measure how well people hold back a response.

Try the test before you film

Take it yourself first: Go/No-Go Task on conductcognition.com. On the test's page, choose Preview it free. It asks you to sign in, or to create a free account.

Film yourself taking the test, or use sample data. Never show real participants, children, patients, private records or unpublished results. Get permission before you film at your school or workplace, or name it. The handbook has the rest.
