Abstract

Mobile devices provide new opportunities to draw conclusions about cognitive performance in everyday situations. To gain insights into cognitive performance patterns in healthy adult populations, we adapted three established cognitive tests for smartphone use: the Digit Symbol Substitution Task (DSST), Sustained Attention to Response Task (SART), and Psychomotor Vigilance Task (PVT). To increase their feasibility for ambulatory assessment, we identified the minimum measurement durations that provide reliable and valid state measures of cognitive performance. Over 2 weeks, 46 participants performed each test once per day at random times, along with self-reports (e.g., on concentration, mood, and mental demands). The validity and reliability of change are promising for the 30-second PVT and 90-second DSST and SART. The DSST and SART provide fruitful outcomes for ambulatory field studies linked to mood, stress, and mental demands. We provide digital versions of the adapted DSST and SART online for free.

在野外测量情境认知能力：基于智能手机的三种简短测试程序的心理测量学评估。

移动设备为总结日常生活中的认知表现提供了新的机会。为了深入了解健康成年人群的认知能力模式，我们改编了三种成熟的认知测试供智能手机使用：数字符号替换任务（DSST）、持续注意反应任务（SART）和精神运动警觉任务（PVT）。为了提高它们在非卧床评估中的可行性，我们确定了能提供可靠有效的认知能力状态测量的最短测量持续时间。在两周的时间里，46 名参与者每天随机进行一次测试，同时进行自我报告（如注意力、情绪和心理需求）。30 秒 PVT 以及 90 秒 DSST 和 SART 的有效性和变化可靠性都很不错。DSST 和 SART 为与情绪、压力和心理需求相关的流动现场研究提供了富有成效的结果。我们在网上免费提供改编后的 DSST 和 SART 的数字版本。

期刊介绍： Assessment publishes articles in the domain of applied clinical assessment. The emphasis of this journal is on publication of information of relevance to the use of assessment measures, including test development, validation, and interpretation practices. The scope of the journal includes research that can inform assessment practices in mental health, forensic, medical, and other applied settings. Papers that focus on the assessment of cognitive and neuropsychological functioning, personality, and psychopathology are invited. Most papers published in Assessment report the results of original empirical research, however integrative review articles and scholarly case studies will also be considered.
