认知和情绪调节快速评估（RACER）是一种基于平板电脑的儿童执行功能（EF）技能评估工具。简明易懂的说明；游戏式的任务被设计成很容易吸引孩子，不管他们的文化水平和多变的考试管理设置。RACER测量抑制控制和工作记忆。本研究提出了基于片剂的EF评估的理论基础和经验证据，即管理RACER评估的过程。目前的样本包括黎巴嫩（N=1900）和尼日尔（N=850）的学生。结果表明，可以通过RACER片剂任务来评估EF的个体差异。具体来说，我们证明了EF分数以预期的方式与年龄相关，并且任务的功能与在高收入国家观察到的相似。可行性和效用的研究人员，从业者和临床医生，这种认知评估工具进行了讨论。
The Rapid Assessment of Cognitive and Emotional Regulation (RACER) is a tablet-based assessment tool for children that measures executive function (EF) skills. Instructions that are brief and visually presented; game-like tasks are designed to easily engage children regardless of literacy level and variable test administration settings. RACER measures inhibitory control and working memory. This study presents the theoretical rationale and empirical evidence for tablet-based assessments of EF, the process of administering the RACER assessments. The current sample consists of students in Lebanon (N=1900) and Niger (N=850). The results indicate that individual differences in EF can be assessed by the RACER tablet tasks. Specifically, we demonstrate that EF scores are associated in expected ways with age and that tasks function similarly to what has been observed in high-income countries. The feasibility and utility for researchers, practitioners, and clinicians, of this cognitive assessment tool is discussed.
