Digit Symbol Substitution Task

Digit Symbol Substitution Task measures processing speed. The task begins with a brief animated tutorial in which participants are instructed to match 5 different symbols with corresponding numbers. Once the 60-second session starts, participants are shown a symbol and then must identify and click the corresponding number as quickly as possible. After each selection, a new symbol appears. The digit symbol pairs remain the same throughout the session but change in future sessions.

Data collected:

  • Correct count: Total number of digit symbol pairs correctly identified
  • Incorrect count: Total number of incorrect responses
  • Median reaction time (for correct trials)
  • Fastest reaction time (for correct trials)

Validated:

Quick Tap 1This test has been validated in a general adult sample and used with several other populations such as adults with serious mental illness and cancer.
