Child Flanker Test with Fish
The Child Flanker Task created by Christ et al (2011), which uses fish as stimuli.
Flanker Squared Task
The flankerSquared task is part of a 'squared' test battery designed by Burgoyne et al (2023). These tasks are designed to provide an additional level of conflict (thus, the 'squared' part of the name) as well as a quick administration time compared to the more traditional designs of their respective tasks.
