点探测任务是一种广泛使用的对威胁刺激的注意分配的测量方法。目前的两项研究考察了使用文字和图片作为刺激材料的不同版本的该任务的可靠性。对内部一致性和一周内重测信度的估计得出结论：在非临床样本中，点探针任务是一种完全不可靠的注意力分配测量方法。这种不可靠性可以解释在文献中报道的点探测任务的不一致的发现。版权所有(c) 2005 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd。
The dot probe task is a widely used measure of attention allocation to threatening stimuli. The present two studies examine the reliability of different versions of this task using words as well as pictures as stimulus material. Estimates of both internal consisitency, and retest reliability over one week lead to the conclusion that the dot probe task is a completely unreliable measure of attentional allocation in non-clinical samples. This unreliability may explain the inconsistent findings for the dot probe task as reported in the literature. Copyright (c) 2005 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
