Dual-video visual probe task: Assessment of Attentional Bias to Alcohol (ABA) software

Viewed: 1487

Software, image files, and a brief user guide to install and run a dual-video visual probe task designed to measure a participant’s attentional bias to alcohol are provided.

Attentional bias to alcohol is measured by presenting the dual video stimuli and assessing relative attention to the alcohol video clip compared to a matching non-alcohol video clip.
