Behavioral task

A behavioral task is a controlled activity designed to observe and measure how individuals act or respond in specific situations. It helps researchers understand patterns in decision-making, problem-solving, or other mental processes by presenting participants with challenges or scenarios. The goal is to gather objective data about behavior, which can inform theories or diagnose conditions. These tasks are widely used in psychology, neuroscience, and related fields to study how people think, feel, or react under different circumstances.
