摘要
目的:无监督远程数字认知评估使频繁测试成为可能,并允许在参与者自己的设备上重复评估学习的测量。这提供了在短时间间隔内获得个人多日学习曲线分数的机会。在这里,我们报告了来自波士顿神经认知健康远程评估(Multiday BRANCH)的7天认知电池的可行性、可靠性和有效性,这是一种无监督的基于网络的评估。方法:使用自己的电子设备对181名认知功能正常的老年人进行多天远程BRANCH治疗。在连续7天的时间里,参与者使用相同的刺激物完成了包含联想记忆成分(面孔-名字、杂货店-价格、数字符号)的三个测试,以捕捉每个测试的多日学习曲线。我们评估了在7天内捕捉学习曲线的可行性。此外,我们还检验了学习曲线与人口统计学、传统认知和主观报告测量的可靠性和相关性。结果:多日BRANCH是可行的,96%的参与者完成了所有的研究评估;使用的器械类型(t = 0.71, p = 0.48)或完成一天的时间(t = -0.08, p = 0.94)没有差异。学习曲线的心理测量特性良好,个体曲线的重测信度良好(类内相关= 0.94)。学习曲线与面对面的认知测试和主观的认知抱怨报告呈正相关。结论:Multiday BRANCH是一种可行、可靠和有效的认知测量方法,可用于识别老年人学习和记忆过程的细微变化。在未来,我们将确定Multiday BRANCH是否可以预测临床前阿尔茨海默病的存在。(PsycInfo数据库记录(c) 2023 APA,版权所有)。
Capturing learning curves with the multiday Boston Remote Assessment of Neurocognitive Health (BRANCH): Feasibility, reliability, and validity.
Objective: Unsupervised remote digital cognitive assessment makes frequent testing feasible and allows for measurement of learning over repeated evaluations on participants' own devices. This provides the opportunity to derive individual multiday learning curve scores over short intervals. Here, we report feasibility, reliability, and validity, of a 7-day cognitive battery from the Boston Remote Assessment for Neurocognitive Health (Multiday BRANCH), an unsupervised web-based assessment.
Method: Multiday BRANCH was administered remotely to 181 cognitively unimpaired older adults using their own electronic devices. For 7 consecutive days, participants completed three tests with associative memory components (Face-Name, Groceries-Prices, Digit Signs), using the same stimuli, to capture multiday learning curves for each test. We assessed the feasibility of capturing learning curves across the 7 days. Additionally, we examined the reliability and associations of learning curves with demographics, and traditional cognitive and subjective report measures.
Results: Multiday BRANCH was feasible with 96% of participants completing all study assessments; there were no differences dependent on type of device used (t = 0.71, p = .48) or time of day completed (t = -0.08, p = .94). Psychometric properties of the learning curves were sound including good test-retest reliability of individuals' curves (intraclass correlation = 0.94). Learning curves were positively correlated with in-person cognitive tests and subjective report of cognitive complaints.
Conclusions: Multiday BRANCH is a feasible, reliable, and valid cognitive measure that may be useful for identifying subtle changes in learning and memory processes in older adults. In the future, we will determine whether Multiday BRANCH is predictive of the presence of preclinical Alzheimer's disease. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2024 APA, all rights reserved).
