Pemanfaatan Stroop Task Digital untuk Menilai Fungsi Eksekutif Atlet
Abstract
Executive functions, particularly inhibitory control, are crucial cognitive components influencing athletic performance, especially in competitive situations requiring rapid focus and decision-making. The Stroop Task is a well-established method for assessing executive functions by measuring interference control. However, in Indonesia, access to computer-based cognitive assessment tools remains limited due to cost barriers and lack of awareness. This article introduces PsyToolkit, a free and web-based platform, as a practical and accessible solution for administering the Stroop Task. By offering a step-by-step implementation guide, this study aims to support sports coaches and researchers in utilizing this tool to evaluate and enhance athletes’ executive functions. The approach presented is expected to contribute to the broader integration of evidence-based cognitive training in athlete development programs in Indonesia.
