Abstract

Behavioral decision making tasks are common in research settings, with only the Iowa Gambling Task available for clinical assessments. However, correlations among these tasks are low, indicating each may assess a distinct component of decision making. In addition, it is unclear whether these tasks are sensitive to invalid performance or even simulated impairment. The present study examined relationships among decision making tasks and whether simulated impairment moderates the relationships among them. Across two studies (Study 1: n = 166, Study 2: n = 130), undergraduate student participants were asked to try their best or to simulate a specific diagnosis (Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder; Study 1), decision making impairment (Study 2), or general cognitive impairment (Study 2). They then completed a battery of tests including embedded and standalone performance validity tests (PVTs) and three behavioral decision making tasks. Across studies, participants simulating impairment were not distinguishable from controls on any of the behavioral tasks. Few significant correlations emerged among tasks across studies and the pattern of relationships between tasks did not differ on the basis of simulator or PVT failure status. Collectively, our findings suggest that these tasks may not be vulnerable to simulated cognitive impairment, and that the tasks measure largely non-overlapping aspects of decision making.

行为决策任务之间的相关性是否受模拟认知障碍的调节?
行为决策任务在研究环境中很常见,只有爱荷华赌博任务可用于临床评估。然而,这些任务之间的相关性很低,这表明每个任务可能评估的是决策的一个不同组成部分。此外,目前还不清楚这些任务是否对无效表现甚至模拟损伤敏感。本研究考察了决策任务之间的关系,以及模拟损伤是否会调节它们之间的关系。在两项研究中(研究 1:n = 166;研究 2:n = 130),本科生参与者被要求尽力或模拟特定诊断(注意力缺陷/多动障碍;研究 1)、决策障碍(研究 2)或一般认知障碍(研究 2)。然后,他们完成了一系列测试,包括嵌入式和独立式成绩效度测试(PVT)以及三项行为决策任务。在所有研究中,模拟障碍参与者在任何行为任务上都无法与对照组区分开来。在不同的研究中,任务之间几乎没有明显的相关性,任务之间的关系模式也没有因为模拟器或 PVT 的失败状态而有所不同。总之,我们的研究结果表明,这些任务可能不容易受到模拟认知障碍的影响,而且这些任务所测量的决策制定方面基本上没有重叠。

期刊介绍: pplied Neuropsychology-Adult publishes clinical neuropsychological articles concerning assessment, brain functioning and neuroimaging, neuropsychological treatment, and rehabilitation in adults. Full-length articles and brief communications are included. Case studies of adult patients carefully assessing the nature, course, or treatment of clinical neuropsychological dysfunctions in the context of scientific literature, are suitable. Review manuscripts addressing critical issues are encouraged. Preference is given to papers of clinical relevance to others in the field. All submitted manuscripts are subject to initial appraisal by the Editor-in-Chief, and, if found suitable for further considerations are peer reviewed by independent, anonymous expert referees. All peer review is single-blind and submission is online via ScholarOne Manuscripts.
