Abstract: (1976 Views)
Aim and Background: Sustained attention can be evaluated through paper and pencil tasks. The purpose of the present study was to design a sustained attention test and evaluate its validity and reliability. Methods and Materials: The present cross-sectional study was conducted on 230 elementary school students with the mean age of 9.09 ± 1.46 years (7-11 years). The Continuous Performance Test (CPT) and Persian Attention Registration Test (PART) were conducted on the subjects. The PART was repeated in 151 students after 4 to 6 weeks. The Pearson test was performed for the assesment of test-retest reliability and concurrent validity between the two performances of the test and between CPT and PART results, repectively. Findings: Errors of omission and commission had significant positive correlation in both measures. Errors of omission and commission and the total time of test with Pearson coefficients of0.886, 0.610, and 0.478, repectively, had a significant positive correlation in the two tests (P < 0.001). Conclusions: PART is a valid and reliable test for the evaluation of sustained attention.
