The current study aimed to develop a shortened language-specific (Polish) version of the UNRAVEL task (Altmann, Trafton, & Hambrick, 2014) and to verify whether the adaptation yields valid and reliable data about placekeeping ability. Since the original procedure is intended to investigate task performance referring to placekeeping operations under conditions of task interruptions, we used this tool in the context of a multitasking situation. The adopted version differs from the original in that we reduced the number of steps in the procedure and changed the rules set, using an acronym WINDA (a word meaning elevator in Polish). Participants were asked to try to keep their place in the WINDA sequence, make a two-alternative forced choice regarding one feature of a presented stimulus, and to continue the task after the interruption at the place where they had left off. Similarly to the original task, reliability of sequence errors was high, suggesting that the WINDA task is suitable for measuring individual differences in placekeeping performance. The results suggest that the adaptation process that we employed to create the WINDA task can be utilized to generate other language adaptations of this tool (characterized by different levels of difficulty) targeted at specific subject groups.

开发和验证 UNRAVEL 占位能力性能测量工具的缩短语言特定版本

当前的研究旨在开发 UNRAVEL 任务（Altmann、Trafton 和 Hambrick，2014 年）的缩短的语言特定（波兰语）版本，并验证该适应是否产生关于占位能力的有效和可靠数据。由于原始程序旨在研究任务中断条件下的占位操作的任务性能，因此我们在多任务情况下使用了该工具。采用的版本与原始版本的不同之处在于，我们减少了程序中的步骤数量并更改了规则集，使用首字母缩略词 WINDA（波兰语中意为电梯的词）。参与者被要求尽量保持他们在 WINDA 序列中的位置，就所呈现刺激的一个特征做出两个可选的强制选择，并在中断后在他们中断的地方继续任务。与原始任务类似，序列错误的可靠性很高，表明 WINDA 任务适用于测量占位性能的个体差异。结果表明，我们用于创建 WINDA 任务的适应过程可用于生成针对特定学科群体的该工具的其他语言适应（具有不同的难度级别）。
