Description: The following project aims at sharing with the scientific community the script of the Time load dual back (TloadDback) task. In this cognitive task, different levels of cognitive load can be induced and individually adjusted by modifying the time available to process the ongoing-task demands. For the purpose, the task determines the specific task parameters for each participant by pre-assessing (Pretest) the minimal time needed to perform suitably on the task. The script was programmed using the software Matlab 2013a/Psychtoolbox 3.0.10 but it works with newer versions.
