Abstract:
We present Graph Mapping - a simple and effective computerized test of fluid intelligence (reasoning ability). The test requires structure mapping - a key component of the reasoning process. Participants are asked to map a pair of corresponding nodes across two mathematically isomorphic but visually different graphs. The test difficulty can be easily manipulated - the more complex structurally and dissimilar visually the graphs, the higher response error rate. Graph Mapping offers high flexibility in item generation, ranging from trivial to extremally difficult items, supporting progressive item sequences suitable for correlational studies. It also allows multiple item instances (clones) at a fixed difficulty level as well as full item randomization, both particularly suitable for within-subject experimental designs, longitudinal studies, and adaptive testing. The test has short administration times and is unfamiliar to participants, yielding practical advantages. Graph Mapping has excellent psychometric properties: Its convergent validity and reliability is comparable to the three leading traditional fluid reasoning tests. The convenient software allows a researcher to design the optimal test variant for a given study and sample. Graph Mapping can be downloaded from: https://osf.io/wh7zv/.
摘要:
我们介绍图形映射-流体智能(推理能力)的简单有效的计算机测试。测试需要结构映射-推理过程的关键组成部分。参与者被要求在两个数学上同构但视觉上不同的图形上映射一对相应的节点。测试难度可以很容易地操纵——结构越复杂,图形越不相似,响应错误率越高。图映射在项目生成中提供了高度的灵活性,从琐碎到极其困难的项目,支持适用于相关研究的渐进项目序列。它还允许固定难度级别的多个项目实例(克隆)以及完整的项目随机化,两者都特别适用于受试者内的实验设计,纵向研究,和自适应测试。该测试管理时间短,参与者不熟悉,产生实际优势。图映射具有出色的心理测量特性:其收敛的有效性和可靠性可与三种领先的传统流体推理测试相媲美。方便的软件允许研究人员为给定的研究和样本设计最佳的测试变体。图表映射可从以下网址下载:https://osf.io/wh7zv/。
