Create Attention Tests Online

Build comprehensive attention assessments including sustained attention, selective attention, and divided attention tasks. Research-grade precision without coding.

Attention Tasks You Can Build

Sustained Attention (CPT)

Continuous performance tests for measuring vigilance and sustained focus over extended periods.

  • • CPT-II style
  • • CPT-AX paradigm
  • • Custom target rules

Selective Attention

Tasks measuring ability to focus on relevant information while ignoring distractors.

  • • Stroop Task
  • • Flanker Task
  • • Dichotic Listening

Visual Search

Find targets among distractors. Study feature search vs. conjunction search effects.

  • • Feature search
  • • Conjunction search
  • • Variable set sizes

Attention Network Test

Comprehensive assessment of alerting, orienting, and executive attention networks.

  • • Alerting network
  • • Orienting network
  • • Executive network
2x

Divided Attention

Dual-task paradigms measuring ability to attend to multiple streams simultaneously.

  • • Dual-task costs
  • • Multi-tasking
  • • Resource sharing

Attentional Shifting

Measure cognitive flexibility and ability to shift attention between task sets.

  • • Task switching
  • • Set shifting
  • • Switch costs

Clinical & Research Applications

ADHD Assessment

CPTs and attention tasks are core components of ADHD evaluation.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are the different types of attention?

Attention includes: Sustained attention (maintaining focus over time), Selective attention (focusing on relevant while ignoring irrelevant), Divided attention (attending to multiple things), and Attentional control (shifting focus as needed). Different tasks measure each type.

What is a Continuous Performance Test (CPT)?

CPTs are sustained attention tasks where participants respond to infrequent targets over extended periods. Common variants include CPT-II (respond to all letters except X), CPT-AX (respond only when A followed by X), and TOVA. They are widely used in ADHD assessment.

What is the Attention Network Test (ANT)?

The ANT (Fan et al., 2002) measures three attention networks in a single task: alerting (responding to warning cues), orienting (directing attention to spatial locations), and executive attention (resolving conflict). AssessKit includes the full ANT paradigm.

Can I create visual search tasks?

Yes. AssessKit supports creating visual search paradigms where participants find targets among distractors. You can customize set sizes, target features, distractor types, and display configurations.

How long should attention tests be?

Sustained attention tests like CPTs typically run 10-20 minutes to capture vigilance decrements. Selective attention tasks like Stroop or Flanker can be shorter (5-10 minutes). AssessKit lets you configure duration based on your needs.
