Amsterdam Neuropsychological Tasks (ANT)

The Amsterdam Neuropsychological Tasks (ANT) are computerized executive functioning tasks. The ANTs measure a diverse range of executive functions, including attention, working memory, and inhibition.

In TRAILS, focused attention, sustained attention, shifting attention, memory search, face recognition, and emotion recognition were assessed. In the fourth wave of TRAILS, face recognition and emotion recognition were not included.
