An apparatus for generating an individual cognitive skill quantifier comprises a user interface, a memory for storing processor-executable instructions, and a processing unit communicatively coupled to the user interface and the memory. When the processor-executable instruction is executed by the processing unit, the processing unit is to represent the first instance of the issue with interference in the user interface, and the individual for the first instance of the issue in the presence of interference. The first response from and the response from the individual to the at least one stimulating element are required to be configured to represent. One or more of the first instance of the task and the interference includes at least one stimulating element. The user interface is configured to measure data indicative of the individual's response to the at least one stimulating element, the data including at least one measure of the individual's emotional processing capacity under an emotional load. The apparatus is configured to measure a first response from the individual to the first instance of the task and a response from the individual to the at least one stimulating element substantially simultaneously. The processing unit is further configured to receive data indicative of the first response and an individual response to the at least one incentive element. The processing unit parses data indicative of the individual's response to the first response and the at least one stimulating element and includes at least one quantified indicator of the individual's cognitive ability under emotional load Further configured to calculate one performance metric.個人の認知スキルの定量子を生成するための装置は、ユーザインターフェースと、プロセッサ実行可能命令を記憶するためのメモリと、ユーザインターフェースおよびメモリに通信可能に接続されている処理ユニットとを備える。処理ユニットによりプロセッサ実行可能命令が実行されると、処理ユニットは、ユーザインターフェースにおいて課題の第1のインスタンスを干渉とともに表現することであって、干渉の存在下での課題の第1のインスタンスに対する個人からの第1の応答および少なくとも1つの喚起要素への個人からの応答が要求される、表現することを行うように構成される。課題の第1のインスタンスおよび干渉のうちの1つまたは複数は、少なくとも1つの喚起要素を含む。ユーザインター
