反应时间任务在基础心理学和应用心理学中有着广泛的应用。人们需要一种易于使用的、免费的程序，它可以运行简单的、可选择的反应时间任务，而不需要特殊的软件。我们报告的发展，并提供，迪尔-利瓦尔德反应时间任务。最初在这里对150名年龄在18岁到80岁之间的参与者进行了测试，与此同时，还有另一种广泛使用的反应时间装置，以及流体和结晶智力和处理速度的测试。新任务的参数在年龄和智力差异方面的表现与预期一致。新任务的参数是可靠的，并且与现有任务具有非常高的相关性。我们还提供了下载和使用新的反应时间程序的说明，我们鼓励其他研究人员使用它。
Reaction time tasks are used widely in basic and applied psychology. There is a need for an easy-to-use, freely available programme that can run simple and choice reaction time tasks with no special software. We report the development of, and make available, the Deary-Liewald reaction time task. It is initially tested here on 150 participants, aged from 18 to 80, alongside another widely used reaction time device and tests of fluid and crystallised intelligence and processing speed. The new task's parameters perform as expected with respect to age and intelligence differences. The new task's parameters are reliable, and have very high correlations with the existing task. We also provide instructions for downloading and using the new reaction time programme, and we encourage other researchers to use it.
