Abstract(in English) Random number generation (RNG) task is one of the atypical task of Complex, Unfamiliar, and Non-routine (CUN), which reflect the aspect of divergent thinking and could also be a task of creativity as well because it is possible to evaluate the quality of the product, i.e., “randomness.” (Murakami[1]). The randomization task was adopted as the task reflecting the central executive component of the Baddeley’ working memory (Baddeley[2] ) model and is still widely used as a task to reflect frontal lobe functioning. In the experiment 1, we attempted to use the collected RNG data in the past so as to construct an RNG axis of mental age at the stage of adolescence. In the experiment 2, we consider the relationship between the tentative axis of mental age and measurements of working memory and also the relation with a multi-scale of ego identity.
