- ItemAcesso aberto (Open Access)Performance of university students on random number generation at different rates to evaluate executive functions(Academia Brasileira de Neurologia - ABNEURO, 2004-03-01) Hamdan, Amer C.; Souza, Juberty A. de; Bueno, Orlando Francisco Amodeo [UNIFESP]; Universidade Federal de Mato Grosso do Sul Departamento de Psicologia; Universidade Federal de Mato Grosso do Sul Departamento de Clínica Médica; Universidade Federal de São Paulo (UNIFESP)OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the performance of adult young subjects in a Random Number Generation (RNG) task by controlling the response speed (RS). METHOD: Sixty-nine university students of both sexes took part in the experiment (25.05 ± 6.71 year-old). Participants were alloted into 3 groups which differed in RS rates to generate numbers: 1, 2 and 4 seconds to generate each number. A digital metronomer was used to control RS. Participants were asked to generate 100 numbers. The responses were mensured through Evans's RNG Index. RESULTS: There were statistically significant differences among the groups [F (3, 68) = 7.120; p < .05]. Differences were localized between 1 and 2 seconds (p = 0.004) and between 1 and 4 seconds (p = 0.006). No differences were observed between 2 and 4 seconds (p = 0.985). CONCLUSION: The present results suggest that the response speed in production of random numbers influences the performance of the Random Numbers Generation task.
