Book reading shows large individual variability and correlates with better language ability and more empathy. This makes reading exposure an interesting variable to study. Research in English suggests that an author recognition test is the most reliable objective assessment of reading frequency. In this article, we describe the efforts we made to build and test a Dutch author recognition test (DART for older participants and DART_R for younger participants). Our data show that the test is reliable and valid, both in the Netherlands and in Belgium (split-half reliability over .9 with university students, significant correlations with language abilities) and can be used with a young, non-university population. The test is free to use for research purposes.
阅读书籍显示出很大的个体差异，并且与更好的语言能力和更强的同理心相关。这使得阅读接触成为一个值得研究的有趣变量。英语研究表明，作者识别测试是阅读频率最可靠的客观评估方法。在本文中，我们描述了我们为构建和测试荷兰作者识别测试（老年参与者用DART，年轻参与者用DART_R）所做的努力。我们的数据表明，该测试在荷兰和比利时都是可靠且有效的（大学生的分半信度超过0.9，与语言能力有显著相关性），并且可以用于年轻的非大学生群体。该测试可免费用于研究目的。
