ABSTRACT
In this study, we examined the relationship betweenerrors of commissionon theSustained Attention to Response Task(SART)andscores on the Cognitive Failures Questionnaire (CFQ). The goal was to assess theecological validity of the SARTin a sample of people scoring high on fatigue complaints.SART errors of commission were positively associated with CFQ scores and this finding remained after controlling for fatigue level, age, and SART reaction times.Thus, our results generally supported the ecological validity of the SART. However, when examining subsamples separately, we found the association between SART and CFQ only in our subsample of employees, not in our subsample of university students. The three subscales of the CFQ showed the same pattern of findings. Our results imply that, when using the SART to draw conclusions about everyday life, it is crucial to consider the characteristics of one's sample and control for relevant confounding variables.
