The technique we created simulates a multitasking situation. The respondent is presented with several tasks at the same time, and the instructions set their different priorities, which makes it possible to assess the amount of attention, its stability and switchability.

The elements of the remote control are depicted schematically, but recognizable. It is important, on the one hand, to exclude the influence of the specific professional experience of the test takers (therefore, photo-realistic images of controls are not used). On the other hand, it is necessary that the meaning and functions of the elements in question be easily understood.

The Attention!Test technique consists of four training and eight main series, which are performed during one testing session. From series to series, the complexity of the technique increases, and the number of additional tasks increases.

Examples of setting the Attention!Test technique

A demo version is available for this technique. Please note: the link does not contain a test, but only examples of tasks to familiarize yourself with the testing procedure - your answers are not taken into account anywhere and the result is not calculated.

The total time for performing the technique is 40 minutes.

TEST SCALES

Attention indicators:

• Stability of the result– indicates how much the respondent’s attention level fluctuates.
• Sustainability of attention– measured as the success of solving the main (i.e. priority) task.
• Adaptability of attention– indicates whether a person is able to adapt to the task being solved and improve performance in solving it.
• Attention span– measures the degree of success in solving several problems simultaneously.
• The power of attention– integral scale, overall effectiveness of problem solving.

Memory:

• Auditory working memory– measured as success in solving an auditory task.

PRESENTATION OF RESULTS

The Attention!Test method has two options for reporting test results:

HISTORY OF CREATION

The Attention!Test method was developed in 2014-2015. during a project on professional psychological selection of employees of the Central Directorate of Traffic Control, a branch of JSC Russian Railways, related to train traffic. Authors of the development: Altukhov V.V., Belorusets A.S., Portnova D.S., Rybnikova M.K.

During the project, a series of visits to stations of various classes were carried out and interviews were conducted with employees of JSC Russian Railways of ten specialties (signalmen, traffic controllers, train preparers, park duty officers, hump operators, hump duty attendants, railway station attendants, duty, shunting, station and train dispatchers). As a result, a conceptual model of the methodology was created that takes into account the real characteristics of the workplaces of Russian Railways employees in the above-mentioned specialties, as well as the organizational requirements for their psychophysiological characteristics.

The present version of the methodology included, as one of the subtests, a game block for diagnosing the speed and accuracy of a reaction, which was previously included in the TUR methodology and has shown itself to be a viable assessment tool since 1995.

The methodology was validated in 2014. on a sample of 400 employees of JSC Russian Railways who have proven themselves to be successful.

EDUCATION

Training in working with the test methodology is available as a distance course. Individual (or in small groups) face-to-face training is also possible under the program of individual user support. A methodological manual has been developed, which is provided free of charge to all users of the test.

Assessment of switching and distribution of attention. Can be used to examine children and adults.

Test Description

The study is carried out using special forms on which there are 25 red and 24 black numbers. The test subject must first find the black numbers in ascending order, then the red numbers in descending order.

The third task is to alternately search for black numbers in ascending order and red numbers in descending order. The main indicator is execution time.

The first two tasks are completed using one form, the third task - on a different form.

Test instructions

For adults: “There are 25 red and 24 black numbers on your form. You must find the black numbers in an ascending sequence (from 1 to 24) and then the red numbers in a descending sequence (from 25 to 1). Each time you find the required number, write down the letter corresponding to that number.”

The task completion time is recorded.

Second instruction: “Take the second form. Now you have to find the red numbers in descending order and the black numbers in ascending order simultaneously, alternately. For example: red number 25, black number 1, red number 24, black number 2 and so on.

Letters corresponding to red numbers are written in one row (above), and letters corresponding to black numbers are written in another (bottom), thus creating two rows of letters.”

Children's version: “On this table, the red numbers from 1 to 24 and the black numbers from 1 to 25 are not in order. You must show and name the black numbers in ascending order, and the red ones in descending order at the same time, in turn: 1 – black, 24 – red, 2 – black, 23 – red and so on.”

Test material

Processing test results

The execution time of each series and errors are taken into account. The time to complete the third task is not equal to the sum of the times spent on completing the first and second, since part of the time is spent on switching attention and quickly retaining the numbers just named in the head. The difference between the two time indicators will be the time it takes to switch attention from one series of numbers to another. The smaller this difference, the better switching attention.

Types of errors: skipping a number, repeating the same number twice, and so on.

The children's version of the red-black table can be used after the subject has been asked Schulte tables, since this makes it possible to compare the results of the two methods with each other. .

Data processing in children's version similar to the treatment of the adult version. For comparison, we take the average time to complete tasks in Schulte technique and recorded time of work with Gorbov table. The difference between the two times will be the time switching attention.

Errors during the exercise can be of several types, for example, order replacement error. In this case, the number called in ascending order (initially black), becomes a number of decreasing order, and vice versa, a number of decreasing order (initially red) becomes increasing.
