Online versions of D-KEFS verbal fluency and color word interference test

Online experiments

Have the D-KEFS verbal fluency and color word interference tests ever been built in Psychopy? I’m working on a research study where we want to administer online versions of these tests since we are recruiting nationally. Appreciate any insights on this! Thanks!

For D-KEFS verbal fluency, would you be scoring a verbal recording post-hoc or would you ask the participants to type in their answers?

Thanks! That’s a good question… We are still very early on in figuring out the logistics. However, I’m thinking we would probably ask the participants to type in their answers. Are you saying that there could be capability to verbally record participants within the task?

Yes. In its simplest form the task could simply show the question on the screen taken from a spreadsheet (e.g. Name as many words as you can think of that begin with the letter S) and have a microphone component to record the response.

The D-KEFS CWI task is similar. Present something and record the response.

Do you want to administer these as close as possible to the standardised versions, or would you prefer to have something similar which can be scored more easily and works on mobile devices? Is the voice response modality important?

I’ve written versions of the Stroop task where you touch a coloured circle on the screen – one words at a time. The switching section of the CWI could easily be added so that sometimes there is a rectangle around the word to signify that you should response to the meaning not the colour.

Got it, that sounds good re: the verbal fluency task.

re: the CWI task - I’m thinking that we will want to administer this task as close to the standardized version as possible but I can speak more with my team about this.

Can you direct me as to where I can find this version of the Stroop task that you made? It would be helpful if I could pilot it.

Thanks again! This is very helpful information you are providing.

Here are some of my Stroop links.

Thanks for sending! I’m going to look into this more. I may have some other follow-up questions soon. Thanks again for your help!
