节奏听觉连续加法任务（PASAT）是一种认知任务，旨在测量工作记忆、信息处理速度以及持续和分散的注意力（Spreen，O. & Strauss，E.（1998年）。神经心理学测验纲要：管理、规范与评论（第2版）。纽约州纽约。牛津大学出版社.）目前的研究检查是否处理PASAT上的迟发反应作为正确或不正确的可以显着影响测试的结果，在个人与多发性硬化症（MS）的受试者包括59个人与MS和37个健康对照（HC）。评分方法被认为会影响被认为在PASAT上受损的个人数量。当参与者因延迟反应而受到惩罚时，在两组中，发现更多的参与者在任务的2s试验中受到损害（MS：p < 0.01; 140 p < 0.05）。结果表明，PASAT的具体评分应在使用该测试的研究中报告。(c)2006年美国国家神经心理学学会。由爱思唯尔有限公司出版。保留所有权利。
The Paced Auditory Serial Addition Task (PASAT) is a cognitive task purported to measure working memory, speed of information processing, and sustained and divided attention (Spreen, O. & Strauss, E. (1998). A compendium of neuropsychological tests: administration, norms, and commentary (2nd ed.). New York, NY. Oxford University Press.) The current study examined whether treating late responses on the PASAT as correct or as incorrect can significantly affect the outcome of the test in individuals with Multiple Sclerosis (MS).Subjects consisted of 59 individuals with MS and 37 healthy controls (HC). Scoring method was found to affect the number of individuals who were considered impaired on the PASAT. When participants were penalized for late responses significantly more participants, in both groups, were found to be impaired on the 2s trial of the task (MS: p < 0.01; 140 p < 0.05). Results indicate that that the specific scoring of the PASAT should be reported in studies that use the test. (c) 2006 National Academy of Neuropsychology. Published by Elsevier Ltd.
