This study evaluates the selective-listening task (SLT) originally developed by Gopher and Kahneman (1971). A brief analysis of the abilities measured by the SLT is presented, and investigations involving Royal Netherlands Air Force aviator applicants and Royal Netherlands Navy air traffic control applicants are reported. Task performance of samples from both populations (N=175 and N=87, respectively) correlated significantly with subsequent pass-fail in training (r=.34). Incremental validity of the SLT is demonstrated by (a) the absence of significant correlations with other operational selection tests and (b) a multiple regression analysis showing that the SLT explained a significant amount of residual variance not explained by the existing operational tests. We conclude that the SLT increases the assessment potential of an existing selection battery. However, we recommend simplifying the scoring procedure and suggest ways to increase the validity.
本研究评估了最初由戈弗和卡尼曼（1971年）开发的选择性听力任务（SLT）。文中对SLT所测量的能力进行了简要分析，并报告了涉及荷兰皇家空军飞行员申请者和荷兰皇家海军空中交通管制申请者的调查情况。来自这两个人群的样本（分别为N = 175和N = 87）的任务表现与随后训练中的通过/失败情况显著相关（r = 0.34）。SLT的增量效度通过以下方式得以证明：（a）与其他操作选拔测试不存在显著相关性；（b）多元回归分析表明，SLT解释了现有操作测试未解释的大量残差方差。我们得出结论，SLT提高了现有选拔组合的评估潜力。然而，我们建议简化评分程序，并提出提高效度的方法。
