This video shows the PEBL version of the RAT task.  The RAT  is intended to measure give verbal association problems that require insight to solve.  The basic paradigm is that participants are shown three words that are all associated to a fourth word that is not shown. The participant must figure out (in 30 seconds) what that last word is. For example, if the clue words are HEART, HEAD, and BACK, the answer would be ACHE.

The task is used to study problem solving, insight, and other related phenomena. It is available within the PEBL test battery, download at http://pebl.sf.net
