A preliminary psychometric evaluation of the activity ordering task with a metacognitive facet (AOT-M).

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

The Activity Ordering Task with a metacognitive facet (AOT-M) was developed, in our previous work, to address the disconnect between traditional working memory (WM) tasks and everyday WM demands, the lack of culturally sensitive, context-based WM tasks in India and enhance participant engagement. The present study aims to provide preliminary evidence of the AOT-M's psychometric properties among a non-clinical adult population, evaluate its sensitivity to cognitive and metacognitive changes with aging, establish construct validity, ecological validity, concurrent validity and test-retest reliability.

Methods

Ninety neurotypical adults, evenly distributed across three age groups, participated in the study. Descriptive statistics examined the distribution of performance
