I am working on a project using the dot probe paradigm (i.e., participants see a threat and non-threat stimuli and then they need to press a key that appears on a certain side of the screen which is either an E or F). The task consists of 200 trials with 4 blocks in total meaning there is a total of 800 trials. Unfortunately, this would take about 100 minutes and in addition there is about 40 minutes of filling in questionnaires.
Is anyone aware if participant motivation or focus greatly drops after a certain time of testing, whether from personal experience or research on this question?
