Create an IAT Task

This form will provide you with a zip file containing a survey page (“page1.html”), which should be inserted into the same file directory as the rest of your survey pages. This script will only work in conjunction with Jeff’s survey form template or Bill’s survey script. “page1.html” can be safely renamed to something else (e.g., “page3.html”) if needed.

If you wish for words/images to appear more than once in a block, just list them multiple times. The “left” and “right” words/images for each block will be combined and presented in random order.

For more details about any of these settings, or about the output the script produces, please refer to the IAT script instructions.

Disclaimer: Javascript has a couple fundamental limitations with how it runs timed events. First, its internal clock can be off by about +/-15ms in some browsers (info). In addition, the processing speed of computers may cause events to take longer than they should (i.e. a 20ms prime may take 25ms instead). I have created a list of a few methods to compensate for these problems.
