Abstract

Objective: Computerized assessment of cognitive functioning has gained significant popularity over recent years, yet options for clinical assessment of executive functioning (EF) are lacking. One computerized testing platform, CNS Vital Signs (CNS-VS), offers tests designed to measure EF but requires further validation. The goal of the present study was to validate CNS-VS executive scores against standard clinical measures of EF. We also sought to determine whether a modified CNS-VS composite score that included variables purported to measure inhibition, switching, and working memory would outperform the currently available CNS-VS Executive Function Index. Method: A sample of 73 cognitively healthy older adults completed four tests from the Delis-Kaplan Executive Function System, the Digit Span subtest from the Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale-fourth edition, and three CNS-VS tasks purported to measure inhibition, switching, and working memory. Results: Performances on the CNS-VS tests were predicted by performances on standard paper-and-pencil measures. Although the currently available CNS-VS Executive Function Index predicted unique variance in a well-validated paper-and-pencil EF composite score, our Modified CNS-VS EF composite accounted for unique variance above and beyond the original CNS-VS Executive Function Index, while the reverse was not true. Conclusions: The present results support the construct validity of CNS-VS EF tests but also suggest that modifications to their current composite scores would improve the prediction of EF performance.

执行功能计算机化评估:在社区老年人样本中验证 CNS 生命体征执行功能评分。
目的:近年来,认知功能的计算机化评估大受欢迎,但执行功能(EF)的临床评估却缺乏选择。中枢神经系统生命体征(CNS-VS)是一种计算机化测试平台,可提供旨在测量执行功能的测试,但还需要进一步验证。本研究的目的是根据标准的临床 EF 测量方法对 CNS-VS 执行力评分进行验证。此外,我们还试图确定包含了据称可测量抑制、转换和工作记忆等变量的改良版 CNS-VS 综合评分是否会优于目前可用的 CNS-VS 执行功能指数。研究方法73 名认知健康的老年人完成了 Delis-Kaplan 执行功能系统中的四项测试、韦氏成人智力量表第四版中的数字跨度子测试,以及三项 CNS-VS 任务,这些任务旨在测量抑制、转换和工作记忆。测试结果CNS-VS测试的成绩可以通过标准纸笔测验的成绩来预测。虽然目前可用的 CNS-VS 执行功能指数可以预测经过验证的纸笔式 EF 综合得分的独特差异,但我们的 "修正 CNS-VS EF 综合得分 "所占的独特差异超过了原始的 CNS-VS 执行功能指数,而反之则不然。结论本研究结果支持 CNS-VS EF 测试的建构效度,但同时也表明,对其当前的综合评分进行修改可提高对 EF 表现的预测能力。

期刊介绍: The Clinical Neuropsychologist (TCN) serves as the premier forum for (1) state-of-the-art clinically-relevant scientific research, (2) in-depth professional discussions of matters germane to evidence-based practice, and (3) clinical case studies in neuropsychology. Of particular interest are papers that can make definitive statements about a given topic (thereby having implications for the standards of clinical practice) and those with the potential to expand today’s clinical frontiers. Research on all age groups, and on both clinical and normal populations, is considered.
