Welcome to the Quantitative Cognitive Avoidance Testing (QCAT)! The QCAT includes five games: “Pop a balloon”, “Stay safe”, “Hit the target”, “Pain monitoring”, and “Stock market task”. The games are designed to work on phones and tablet. Each game lasts about 10 minutes. In each game, you will be asked to enter your participant ID, date of birth, and the date of attendance. Then you will enter the game.
