Attention Network Test-Interaction (ANT-I)
The Attention Network Test-Interaction (ANT-I), a modified behavioral measure of alerting, orienting and executive attention based on the original ANT procedure. The implemented ANT-I procedure was originally proposed by Callejas et al (2005)
Attentional Network Task
The Attentional Network Task as originally developed by Fan et al (2002).
Attentional Network Task - Revised (ANT-R)
The revised version of the ANT as described in Fan et al (2009).
Attentional Network Task - Revised with Mouse Tracking (ANT-R)
The revised version of the ANT using mouse tracking as described in Yamauhi et al (2019).
Attentional Network Task (Child Version)
The child version of the Attentional Network Task as developed by Rueda et al (2004).
Auditory ANT
This script implements the auditory Attention Network Test (ANT-A) as suggested by Wu et al (2021). The ANT-A is an approximate auditory analog of the visual ANT-R (Fan et al, 2009). As part of the ANT tasks, the ANT-A is a behavioral measure of alerting, orienting and executive attention.
Centre for Research on Safe Driving Attentional Network Task (CRSD-ANT) - Arrows
A 10-minute version of the ANT developed by the CRSD (Weaver et al, 2013) using arrow stimuli.
Centre for Research on Safe Driving Attentional Network Task (CRSD-ANT) - Trucks
A 10-minute version of the ANT developed by the CRSD (Weaver et al, 2013) using images of trucks as stimuli.
Modified Attentional Network Task
The modified Attentional Network Task (ANT) by Wang et al (2015).
Short ANT
The Short ANT as developed by Dr. Jin Fan.
