One of the most significant domains of cognition is episodic memory, which allows for rapid acquisition and long-term storage of new information. For purposes of the NIH Toolbox, we devised a new test of episodic memory. The nonverbal NIH Toolbox Picture Sequence Memory Test (TPSMT) requires participants to reproduce the order of an arbitrarily ordered sequence of pictures presented on a computer. To adjust for ability, sequence length varies from 6 to 15 pictures. Multiple trials are administered to increase reliability. Pediatric data from the validation study revealed the TPSMT to be sensitive to age-related changes. The task also has high test-retest reliability and promising construct validity. Steps to further increase the sensitivity of the instrument to individual and age-related variability are described.
认知的最重要领域之一是情景记忆，它允许快速获取和长期存储新信息。出于 NIH 工具包的目的，我们设计了一种新的情景记忆测试。非言语 NIH 工具包图片序列记忆测试（TPSMT）要求参与者复制在计算机上呈现的任意顺序图片序列的顺序。为了适应能力，序列长度从 6 张到 15 张不等。进行多次试验以提高可靠性。验证研究中的儿科数据显示，TPSMT 对与年龄相关的变化敏感。该任务还具有较高的重测信度和有前途的结构效度。描述了进一步提高仪器对个体和年龄相关变异性的敏感性的步骤。
