Note: This task is for demonstration purposes only.  Using the GNAT for research 

requires intentional decisions about numerous design parameters.  Discussion of 

some of those parameters can be found in Nosek and Banaji (2001; Social Cognition).
This example is a minimalist example and is not designed to maximize reliability, it
only demonstrates the core properties of the task.

Also, note that the coding for distractor trials (no response) results in Inquisit 
marking errors (hitting the space bar) as 'correct' and correct responses (not hitting 
the space bar) as 'errors'.  This is a consequence of ensuring accurate feedback to the 
user, but should be recognized for data analysis.

<page begin>

Thank you for your interest in the Go/No-go Association Task. Please read the instructions carefully 

before proceeding with the demonstration task.^^

Our research investigates cognitive processes that are used in decisions 

that involve memory. We are seeking to develop and test theories of the cognitive processes 

that occur outside of awareness in the routine use of memory. Stimuli for the category 

task will be presented on this display screen, and your responses will be entered on the keyboard.  

You will have an opportunity to practice at the task before your responses are recorded by 

the computer.

</page>



<page begin2>

This work assumes that you can read English fluently, and that your vision is normal or corrected 

to normal. ^^The tasks that you will be doing in this experiment involve category judgment. For 

instance, in one condition your task may be to search for all the words that represent the 

categories 'good' (e.g., happy, celebrate) or the category 'bugs' (e.g., mosquito, termite).^^

All categorizations will be made with the space bar.  When you see a word that 

belongs to the categories (e.g., good and bugs) hit the space bar as fast 

as possible. Ignore words that do not belong to either category.^^  

</page>



<page begin3>

The words you will be looking for will be from the 4 groups listed below.^^

Fruit (blue letters): apple, orange, mango, nectarine, pear, ...^

Bugs (blue letters): aphid, ants, bees, wasp, maggot, ...^^

Good (white letters): happy, joyful, pleased, celebrating, glee, ...^

Bad (white letters): awful, terrible, nasty, dislike, noxious, ...^^

All 'good' and 'bad' items are descriptive (adjectives or adverbs), while 'fruit' and 'bugs' 

are all objects (nouns).  The color coding of the words is there to help distinguish between 

the evaluative (good and bad) words and the object categories.

</page>



<page begin4>

The task will get faster and harder as you get further along. In fact, you may at 

times find it very difficult to correctly classify ANY of the trials. Do not despair.  

This task is designed to be difficult and no one is expected to perform it perfectly.  

Please persevere and just try to catch as many words as possible.^^



You will have an opportunity to practice each new set before the task begins.^^

Hit the space bar when you are ready to begin.

<page end>

Thank you!^^
