The TestMyBrain Cognitive Science Toolkit provides access to 13 TMB cognitive test batteries that include a total of 17 TMB cognitive tests. The available cognitive test batteries are listed below with a brief description of the TMB cognitive test(s) within each test battery. A participant must complete all the tests within a test battery in order to generate results for that test battery.
TMB cognitive tests are designed for use across devices and browsers. Unless otherwise noted below, all TMB tests are mobile device compatible.
The TMB CogSci Toolkit only offers access to a single, full-length, English-language form of each of the tests listed below. If you are in need of alternate test forms (longitudinal studies), ultra-brief tests (high-frequency testing), integration with an external survey platform, or are planning a research study in a language other than English, please email info@manybrains.net and request the full TMB Test List.
You can find data analysis tools for the TMB CogSci Tests in the TMB Analysis Toolkit, including information that may be helpful for test selection, such as test documentation that describes basic test design and psychometric properties.
This cognitive test battery contains the TMB Simple Reaction Time Test and the TMB Choice Reaction Time Test. In the Simple RT test, the participant presses a key whenever a green square appears. This test measures basic psychomotor response speed. In the Choice RT test, the participant indicates the direction of the arrow that is a different color from the rest. This test measures processing speed, response selection/inhibition, and attention.
This cognitive test battery contains TMB Multiracial Reading the Mind in the Eyes Test. In TMB MRMET, the participant judges which of four complex emotion words best describes a pair of eyes. This test measures mental state inferencing and theory of mind. This test is adapted from the classic Reading the Mind in the Eyes Test (Baron-Cohen et al., 2001) but with faces representing a variety of races and ethnicities.
This cognitive test battery contains TMB Matrix Reasoning and TMB Digit Symbol Matching. In TMB Matrix, the participant selects which smaller image completes the pattern in the larger image. This is a test of visual reasoning and general cognitive ability. In TMB Digit Symbol Matching, the participant matches as many number/symbol pairs as possible in 90 seconds. This is a test of processing speed. Both tests were adapted from tests from the Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scales.
This cognitive test battery contains TMB Verbal Paired Associates Memory. In this test, the participant memorizes a set of word pairs. Then, after completing TMB Digit Symbol Matching (90sec), the participant selects which words were paired together. In TMB Digit Symbol Matching, the participant matches as many number/symbol pairs as possible in 90 seconds. This is a test of processing speed and is included to provide a delay between memorization and test portions. TMB Verbal PA is a test of verbal episodic memory.
This cognitive test battery contains TMB Visual Paired Associates Memory. In this test, the participant memorizes a set of picture pairs. Then, after completing TMB Digit Symbol Matching (90sec), the participant selects which pictures were paired together. In TMB Digit Symbol Matching, the participant matches as many number/symbol pairs as possible in 90 seconds. This is a test of processing speed and is included to provide a delay between memorization and test portions. TMB Visual PA is a test of visual episodic memory.
This cognitive test battery contains a version of TMB Cambridge Face Memory Test with computer-generated faces. In this test, the participant memorizes a set of six faces. Then, the participant identifies the faces learned in the memorization phase from images where lighting and face angle vary. This is a test of unfamiliar face recognition. Please note, TMB CFMT only provides trial-by-trial data (no test-level data).
This cognitive test battery contains TMB Vocabulary. In this test, the participant picks which of five words is most similar in meaning to a target word. This test was adapted from the General Social Survey Wordsum test. This is a test of verbal reasoning and general cognitive ability.
This cognitive test battery contains TMB Multiracial Emotion Identification. In this test, the participant picks which of four basic emotions (happy, fearful, sad, or angry) best describes a face. This is a test of face emotion recognition.
This cognitive test battery contains TMB Digit Span - Forward & TMB Digit Span - Backward. In the forward version of TMB Digit Span, the participant is shown a series of numbers in increasing length and asked to recall the numbers in the order displayed. In the backward version, the participant is shown a series of numbers in increasing length and asked to recall the numbers in reverse order. Both tests were adapted from tests from the Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scales. These are tests of short-term memory (Forward and Backward) or working memory (Backward).
This cognitive test battery contains TMB Trail-Making - Part A and Part - B. In TMB Trails - Part A, a participant connects a series of circles with numbers in ascending order. In TMB Trails - Part B, a participant connects a series of circles with numbers and letters in alternating numerical and alphabetical order. Part A is a test of processing speed. Part B is a test of processing speed and task-switching (or cognitive flexibility). We recommend completing this test on a tablet or another device with a larger screen.
This cognitive test battery contains TMB Multiple Object Tracking. In this test, the participant tracks a set of hidden dots across the screen. The dots increase in number and speed as the test progresses. This is a test of visuospatial attention and visual working memory. We recommend completing this test on a tablet or other devices with larger screens.
This cognitive test battery contains TMB Gradual Onset Continuous Performance Test. In this go/no-go test, the participant presses a button for each city image and withholds button presses for mountain images. This is a test of cognitive control, sustained attention, and response inhibition.
This cognitive test battery contains TMB Paced Serial Addition Test. In this test, the participant adds sequentially presented pairs of numbers and judges whether their sum is less than or greater than 10. This is a test of sustained attention and working memory.
