Welcome!! For this activity, you will be shown a series of 5 arrows, like the following:
>>>>>
<<><<
Your job is to decide which way the third arrow - the one in the middle - is facing as quickly as possible.
If it is facing to the left (<) press the 'a' key. If it facing to the right (>) press the 'k' key.
Your answer is recorded automatically.
There are three possible events that will happen before the arrows are about to appear: the fixation cross will flash red, a brief tone will sound, or there will be no cue.
Because this experiment requires you to listen for a tone, please make sure your volume is turned to 50% and you can clearly hear your computer.
Complete four examples and continue on to the activity.
