Consistency of Sustained Attention Across Modalities: Comparing Visual and Auditory Versions of the SART

We develop and assess an auditory version of an increasingly widely used measure of sustained attention, the Sustained Attention to Response Task (SART). In two separate studies, the auditory SART generated slower response times and fewer errors than the visual SART. Proportion of errors, response t...

description We develop and assess an auditory version of an increasingly widely used measure of sustained attention, the Sustained Attention to Response Task (SART). In two separate studies, the auditory SART generated slower response times and fewer errors than the visual SART. Proportion of errors, response times, and response time variability were, however, significantly and strongly correlated across the two modalities. The cross-modality correlations were generally equivalent to split-half correlations within modalities, indicating a strong agreement of the assessment of individual differences in sustained attention in the visual and auditory modalities. The foregoing results plus the finding that errors on the auditory SART were reduced suggests that the auditory SART may be a preferred alternative for use with populations with deficits in sustained attention. Nous développons et évaluons la version auditive d'une mesure d'attention soutenue de plus en plus utilisée, la Sustained Attention to Response Task (SART). Dans deux études distinctes, la SART auditive a généré des temps de réponses plus lents et moins d'erreurs que la SART visuelle. La proportion d'erreurs, les temps de réponse et la variabilité des temps de réponse étaient, cependant, significativement et fortement corrélés entre les deux modalités. Les corrélations cross-modales étaient généralement équivalentes à des corrélations moitié-moitié à l'intérieur des modalités, indiquant une forte concordance dans l'évaluation des différences individuelles d'attention soutenue dans les modalités visuelle et auditive. Les résultats précédents, couplés au fait que les erreurs soient moindres à la SART auditive, suggèrent qu'il pourrait s'avérer préférable d'utiliser la SART auditive auprès de populations aux prises avec des déficits d'attention soutenue.
