The Working Memory Task (Vogel et al., 2005) measure a participant's efficiency at excluding irrelevant items from memory.
Abstract
In this task, participants are briefly shown (200 ms) an array of red and blue rectangles at various angles. They are told to memorize the angles of these rectangles on a specific side of the screen. Then, after a 900ms retention interval, participants are shown a test array which may or may not be identical to the first array. If it is identical, participants press "1" on the keyboard. If it is different, participant press "2" on the keyboard.

Some of the JPG files seem to be missing the letter "a" at the end. For example, I had to rename TwoStimConfig4.jpg as TwoStimConfig4a.jpg
Otherwise, it works well.
