Description
Return incongruent-neutral interference, neutral-congruent facilitation and their total difference.
Experimental timing depends on clock origin, display refresh, exclusion rules and observation windows. Requested, quantized and actually measured times are different quantities, and a timing residual alone does not establish a psychological effect.
Return incongruent-neutral interference, neutral-congruent facilitation and their total difference.
When to use this tool
Use Flanker Congruency Response Gap Term when you need an explicit experiment-timing or latency term.
How to use the tool and how it works
- Enter congruentMean, incongruentMean, neutralMean. Use the units and conventions below.
- Run the tool. Correct any format, range, or cross-field input error before interpreting the output.
- Read interference, facilitation, totalCongruencyEffect. Use the output convention below.
Require nonnegative congruent, incongruent and neutral means. Return incongruent-neutral interference, neutral-congruent facilitation and their total difference.1

}Limitations and assumptions
- Means share time units and can produce negative contrasts. No raw-trial cleaning, uncertainty estimate, causal explanation or diagnosis is provided.
- Inputs must satisfy both the field types and the cross-field conditions above. Invalid input causes an error; a successful false flag or documented placeholder is a different result.
- Numeric calculations use binary floating point unless exact decimal-integer arithmetic is explicitly stated. No hidden measurement tolerance or decimal rounding is added; nonfinite or out-of-contract results are rejected. Numeric signed-zero results are exported as zero.
Alternative or Complementary methods
Use calibrated presentation and response hardware and the study's analysis protocol. Check raw timestamps, censoring, exclusion policy and uncertainty before interpreting timing contrasts.
