尽管现有的认知能力测量工具包具有通用性和复杂性，但它缺乏用于大规模远程数据收集的公共领域方法。虽然缺乏对这种措施的版权保护在理论上对测试有效性构成了威胁，但这种威胁的有效程度是未知的，可以通过使用现代测试开发技术来抵消。在一定程度上，有效性可以保持，公共领域资源的好处是相当大的研究人员，包括：成本节约；对测试内容有更大的控制；以及对构念之间的相关结构进行更细致的理解的可能性。国际认知能力资源的开发是为了评估这种公共领域测量的前景，并且基于对离线大学样本和大型在线样本的管理，评估了前四种项目类型的心理测量特性。并发效度分析和判别效度分析表明，尽管对97,000名参与者进行了管理，但这些项目类型的公共领域状态并未影响其效度。建议进一步开发和验证现有的和额外的项目类型。(C) 2014爱思唯尔公司版权所有。
For all of its versatility and sophistication, the extant toolkit of cognitive ability measures lacks a public-domain method for large-scale, remote data collection. While the lack of copyright protection for such a measure poses a theoretical threat to test validity, the effective magnitude of this threat is unknown and can be offset by the use of modern test-development techniques. To the extent that validity can be maintained, the benefits of a public-domain resource are considerable for researchers, including: cost savings; greater control over test content; and the potential for more nuanced understanding of the correlational structure between constructs. The International Cognitive Ability Resource was developed to evaluate the prospects for such a public-domain measure and the psychometric properties of the first four item types were evaluated based on administrations to both an offline university sample and a large online sample. Concurrent and discriminative validity analyses suggest that the public-domain status of these item types did not compromise their validity despite administration to 97,000 participants. Further development and validation of extant and additional item types are recommended. (C) 2014 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
