ABCD Study: fMRI Tasks

NOTE: These tasks are programmed in E-Prime. Be sure you are using E-Prime Professional 2.0.10.356 or higher to run all tasks.
Recently, Psychology Software Tools announced that E-prime 2.0.10.356 is compatible with Windows 10. There are known bugs with the two most recent releases of Windows 10, versions 1930 (May 2019) and 1909 (November 2019). PST has documented workarounds for these two versions outlined here. PST worked with Microsoft to develop the workarounds above, and believes that the known issues will be resolved and no longer need work arounds in the next version of Windows 10 (expected release June 2020). It is recommended that sites running Windows 10 use version 1809 (October Update). More information running E-prime 2.0.10.356 in Windows 10 can be found on the PST support website.
. We hope to have validated versions of these tasks programmed in PsychoPy over the next year.
