Cognitive control, although it has limited capacity, serves an essential role in supporting a broad range of cognitive functions. The backward masking majority function task (MFT-M) is a commonly used and validated behavioral method for measuring the capacity of cognitive control (CCC), but the administration is lengthy. We tested the relative efficiency of administering the MFT-M using an adaptive method based on the principles of computerized adaptive testing (CAT). Participants were 40 healthy young adults aged 18-26. Scores on the adaptive version were highly correlated with scores based on the original approach to administration and showed high test-retest reliability. In addition, the original 864 trials were reduced to 216, and administration time was reduced from 86 minutes to less than 20 minutes. The results suggest that computerized adaptive testing is a valid and more efficient method for assessing CCC than the MFT-M. This study provides an example of adaptive trial selection in task administration, an approach that can advance the methodology of behavioral science.

EXPRESS:认知控制能力的适应性评估

认知控制虽然能力有限,但在支持广泛的认知功能方面发挥着重要作用。后向掩蔽多数函数任务 (MFT-M) 是一种常用且经过验证的行为方法,用于测量认知控制能力 (CCC),但管理时间较长。我们使用基于计算机自适应测试 (CAT) 原理的自适应方法测试了管理 MFT-M 的相对效率。参与者是 40 名 18-26 岁的健康年轻人。自适应版本的分数与基于原始管理方法的分数高度相关,并显示出较高的重测信度。此外,原来的864个试验减少到216个,给药时间从86分钟减少到20分钟以内。结果表明,与 MFT-M 相比,计算机自适应测试是一种有效且更有效的 CCC 评估方法。本研究提供了任务管理中自适应试验选择的示例,这是一种可以推进行为科学方法论的方法。
