Recently, experimental studies of vigilance have been deployed using online data collection methods. This data collection strategy is not new to the psychological sciences, but it is relatively new to basic research assessing vigilance performance, as studies in this area of research tend to collect data in the laboratory or in the field. The present study partially replicated the results of a newly developed online vigilance task (Thomson, Besner, & Smilek, 2016). A sample of 130 participants completed the semantic vigilance task created by Thomson et al. (2016) in a research laboratory setting. The present results replicated Thomson et al. (2016) when nonparametric and corrected signal detection measures were used. We suggest that some vigilance tasks typically performed in the laboratory could be administered online. However, we encourage researchers to consider the following factors prior to studying vigilance performance online: (a) the type of vigilance task, (b) the length of the vigilance task, and (c) the signal detection indices most appropriate for their research. It is quite possible that some analyses may yield significant results, whereas other signal detection measures may not (i.e., parametric indices vs. nonparametric indices vs. "corrected" indices) and this point is discussed further in our article.

最近，警觉性的实验研究采用了在线数据收集方法。这种数据收集策略对心理学领域而言并不新鲜，但对于评估警觉性表现的基础研究来说相对较新，因为该研究领域的实验往往在实验室或实地收集数据。本研究部分重复了一项新开发的在线警觉性任务的结果（汤姆森、贝斯纳和斯米莱克，2016年）。130名参与者在研究实验室环境中完成了汤姆森等人（2016年）创建的语义警觉性任务。当使用非参数和校正后的信号检测指标时，本研究结果重复了汤姆森等人（2016年）的结果。我们认为，一些通常在实验室进行的警觉性任务可以在线实施。然而，我们鼓励研究人员在进行在线警觉性表现研究之前考虑以下因素：（a）警觉性任务的类型，（b）警觉性任务的时长，以及（c）最适合其研究的信号检测指标。很有可能某些分析会得出显著结果，而其他信号检测指标则不然（即参数指标与非参数指标与“校正后”指标），这一点在我们的文章中会进一步讨论。（《心理学文摘数据库记录》 ）
