The Go/No-Go Task is an iPad-based assessment of inhibition (the ability to control behavioural urges). In this game, children are presented with fish and sharks and are instructed to tap the iPad screen whenever they see a Fish (catch the fish) and refrain from responding when a Shark appears (avoid the sharks). This game takes approximately 5 minutes to complete.The 'Early Years Toolbox' (EYT, for short) is comprised of six brief, engaging game-like assessments of young childrens self-regulation, executive functioning and vocabulary. These games are based on well-established and widely used measures for young children (e.g., go/no-go, dimensional change card sort), yet have been adapted and optimised on the basis of 20+ years of research experience with this age group.NOTE FOR RESEARCHERS.
