Subject: Re: [AUDITORY] Adaptive Stroop task? From: Julia Gwiazda <julia.gwiazda1@xxxxxxxx> Date: Tue, 12 May 2026 07:57:25 +0200--0000000000003b4e950651988aff Content-Type: text/plain; charset="UTF-8" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Hi Dr Patrick, I recommend PsyToolkit - I was using it during my studies for research projects. There are other available tests there as well. I believe the Stroop task there is the standard version, but the coding is modifiable.
