            Subjects view two stimuli (boxes, letters, etc.) and are cued by an arrow to attend to one of the stimuli.  Subjects then discriminate and respond (e.g., press a button when one of the boxes is filled with a diagonal cross, or press the left button for an "X" and the right button for an "O").

Experimental conditions are the subsets of an experiment that define the relevant experimental manipulation.
    CONTRASTS
    
        
            
        
        
        
    
    
        
    
    
        
    
    
        
    
    
        
    
        
  
In the Cognitive Atlas, we define a contrast as any function over experimental conditions. The simplest contrast is the indicator value for a specific condition; more complex contrasts include linear or nonlinear functions of the indicator across different experimental conditions.
    INDICATORS
    
        
            response time
        
    
    
    An indicator is a specific quantitative or qualitative variable that is recorded for analysis. These may include behavioral variables (such as response time, accuracy, or other measures of performance) or physiological variables (including genetics, psychophysiology, or brain imaging data).
