Visual Search Experiment

Description: This Psych Labs Project uses the experiment method. Students participate in an online experiment that presents 4 or 16 shapes on the screen (blue or orange squares or triangles). Students must decide as quickly as possible whether one of the shapes is the "target" (an orange square). The statistical analyses look for differences in decision speed depending on the number of objects and the degree of similarity between the target and the distractor shapes.
