aEMA: ecological momentary assessment.
bTo calculate internal reliability, we fit unconditional multilevel mixed models predicting performance on each half of the test with a random effect of participants. The variance between and within participants was again entered into the same equation, with n=2 for the TestMyBrain.org sample (ie, the 2 halves of the single testing session). Note that for the TestMyBrain.org sample, this produces the same reliability value as the Spearman-Brown corrected split-half reliability of the even and odd trials.
