This study evaluated cognitive tasks for repeated measures, recommending four for the Performance Evaluation Tests for Environmental Research (PETER) battery. Vertical Addition, Perceptual Speed, Grammatical Reasoning, and Flexibility of Closure are suitable for environmental research applications.

Area of Science:

Cognitive psychology
Psychometrics
Environmental research

Background:

Cognitive ability testing is crucial for research.
Validated tools are needed for repeated measures in environmental studies.
The Performance Evaluation Tests for Environmental Research (PETER) battery requires reliable cognitive tasks.

Purpose of the Study:

To evaluate nine cognitive ability tasks for their suitability in repeated measures.
To identify tasks for inclusion in the PETER battery.
To assess the psychometric properties of selected cognitive tasks.

Main Methods:

Administered tasks from the Moran Battery and Carter and Sbisa Computer Generated Battery to 17-18 subjects over 13-15 workdays.
Analyzed task means, variances, and interday reliabilities.

Four cognitive tasks demonstrated suitability for repeated measures.
Recommended tasks include Vertical Addition, Perceptual Speed, Grammatical Reasoning, and Flexibility of Closure.
These tasks showed adequate psychometric properties for longitudinal assessment.

Conclusions:

Vertical Addition, Perceptual Speed, Grammatical Reasoning, and Flexibility of Closure are recommended for repeated measures in environmental research.
These tasks are suitable for inclusion in the PETER battery.
The study provides validated cognitive measures for environmental research settings.
