主动应急任务，如用于探索控制判断的任务，受到关键变量实际值的变化的影响。作者首次提出了一个新的，易于实施的程序，通过告诉参与者何时回应，何时拒绝回应，让实验者恢复对这些变量的控制。这种命令-执行程序不仅恢复了对关键变量（如实际意外事件）的控制，还允许独立于意外事件或结果频率来操纵响应频率。据我们所知，这产生了第一个示范，相当于一个积极的应急任务中的线索密度效应。控制的判断会受到反应频率和结果频率的影响，就像它们也会受到结果频率的影响一样。
Active contingency tasks, such as those used to explore judgments of control, suffer from variability in the actual values of critical variables. The authors debut a new, easily implemented procedure that restores control over these variables to the experimenter simply by telling participants when to respond, and when to withhold responding. This command-performance procedure not only restores control over critical variables such actual contingency, it also allows response frequency to be manipulated independently of contingency or outcome frequency. This yields the first demonstration, to our knowledge, of the equivalent of a cue density effect in an active contingency task. Judgments of control are biased by response frequency outcome frequency, just as they are also biased by outcome frequency.
