The present study aimed at examining the psychometric properties of the Sustained Attention to Response Task (SART). In a Greek sample of first-year undergraduate Psychology students (N = 72) the SART was computer-administered along with other tests assessing selective, distributed, sustained, and switch of attention. Also, they were asked to complete the Attention-Related Cognitive Errors Scale. Our hypothesis that performance on the SART would correlate only with the performance on the sustained attention test was confirmed. Also, SART significantly predicted students’ proneness to lapses of attention in everyday life. The findings of the present study provide evidence for SART’s convergent, divergent, and predictive validity as an instrument for the assessment of sustained attention.
