Within cognitive and behavioural research, the 5-Choice Serial Reaction Time task is widely recognized as a valuable test of attention in rats. However, technical and methodological developments required for extending its usefulness are still at an early stage. In view of advances in knowledge about cognition and other areas of biology, issues surrounding attention are increasingly important, and appear to require new methodological approaches. These changes may concern (i) the evolution of the protocol itself, (ii) adaptations in how tasks are implemented (e.g. use of new technologies such as touchscreens), and (iii) applying existing tasks to species presenting an emerging potential. From a primarily methodological perspective, this review focuses on work that has successively built upon the original 5-CSRT task. We address the strengths and weaknesses of new approaches as well as some of the new possibilities they offer.
在认知和行为研究中，5 -choice 连续反应时任务被广泛认为是一种评估大鼠注意力的有效测试。然而，要扩展其用途所需的技术和方法学发展仍处于早期阶段。鉴于认知和其他生物学领域知识的进步，注意力相关问题变得越来越重要，似乎需要新的方法学方法。这些变化可能涉及（i）协议本身的演变，（ii）任务实施方式的调整（例如使用触摸屏等新技术），以及（iii）将现有任务应用于具有新兴潜力的物种。从主要的方法学角度来看，本综述重点关注在原始 5-CSRT 任务基础上逐步开展的工作。我们讨论了新方法的优缺点以及它们提供的一些新可能性。
