Friedman & Miyake, 2004). Lack of perseverance may also relate to tasks measuring resistance to proactive interference (i.e., resisting memory invasive information that was previously relevant to the current task; Friedman & Miyake, 2004) such as cued recall tasks (Tolan & Tehan, 1999; see Dick et al., 2010). Preliminary evidence indeed suggests that behavioral tasks related to prepotent response inhibition correlate with negative urgency whereas behavioral measures of interference relate to lack of perseverance (see Gay, Rochat, Billeux, D’Acremont, & Van der Linden, 2008). Experimental paradigms involving evoked potentials and computer game models have also been suggested as potential personality assessments that “go beyond” self-report questionnaires (see Ebstein, 2006).
