  button_press:
    text: button_press
    description: A discrete report on a button box, keypad, keyboard, joystick, or
      mouse. The commonest response in the literature by a wide margin.

  hand_movement:
    text: hand_movement
    description: A hand or arm movement that is itself the response rather than a
      report -- finger tapping, a sequence, grasping, reaching, writing, drawing.

  covert_response:
    text: covert_response
    description: 'A response made silently and not emitted -- covert naming, subvocal
      rehearsal, imagined movement, counting to oneself. CogPO''s covert response:
      real, instructed, and unobservable, so no accuracy comes with it.'

    description: 'The task required no response: passive viewing or listening, film
