Go & Nogo tasks
In many experiment paradigms, people’s response speed and accuracy is measured. In some paradigms people’s capacity not to respond is tested. One of these paradigms is known as Go/No-go paradigms (see also Go/No-go on wikipedia). Typically, in some conditions participants have to respond, while in other conditions they are asked not to respond.
| The Go/No-go task is great for measuring impulsiveness. |
| No-go conditions can be combined with many other paradigms, such as flanker and search tasks. For example, visual search paradigms, people only press a button when they find a target, and withhold when they do not find a target. |
| In another type of a Go/No-go paradigm, people are first asked to respond, but on some trials the go signal changes into a stop signal when you are just ready to respond. See the Stop Signal Task. |
