The Korean Affective Go/No-go (AGN) test shows comparable psychometric properties to its English version. This validation supports its use in assessing emotional processing across languages.
Area of Science:
- Psycholinguistics
- Cognitive Neuroscience
- Psychometrics
Background:
- The Affective Go/No-go (AGN) test measures emotional processing.
- Cross-linguistic validation is crucial for standardized cognitive assessments.
- Previous AGN versions exist, but a validated Korean version was needed.
Purpose of the Study:
- To validate the Korean version of the Affective Go/No-go (AGN) test.
- To compare the psychometric properties of the Korean and English AGN versions.
- To assess the reliability and validity of the Korean AGN for emotional valence.
Main Methods:
- Randomized crossover study design.
- Korean and English AGN test administration to 15 advanced Korean English learners.
- Two-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) and Intraclass Correlation Coefficients (ICCs) for performance comparison.
Main Results:
- High ICCs observed for response latencies and commission errors (positive/neutral words).
- Lower ICCs for negative word commission errors and all omission errors.
- Non-significant interaction effects between language and word valence.
Conclusions:
- The Korean AGN test demonstrates comparable psychometric properties to the English version.
- The AGN test may be reliably used across different language versions for emotional processing assessment.
- Further research may explore nuances in negative word processing and omission errors.

Crossover Experiments
Crossover designs are performed even with smaller sample sizes since the samples can act as their controls. These are better than simple randomized trials since patients are exposed to all the treatments.

It would be easy to compare two samples using a significance alpha level of 0.05. In other words, there is only one sample pair to be compared. However, it would be difficult to identify a significantly different sample if the number...
