Flanker

Show a central target arrow flanked by distractor arrows (e.g., <<><<, >><>>). Participants respond to the target’s direction via keypress while flankers may be congruent or incongruent.

When To Use

• Arrow-based Flanker tasks (congruent vs. incongruent).
• Response interference paradigms with left/right keys.
• Quick attentional control or conflict measurements.
