  • The TDQ-60 Tr—a Picture-Naming Test to Assess Anomia in Turkish Adults
           and the Elderly: Normative Data and Validation Study in Alzheimer’s
           Disease and Mild Cognitive Impairment

    • Free pre-print version: Loading...

      Pages: 529 - 540
      Abstract: AbstractObjectiveAnomia is defined by difficulty in retrieving content words like nouns and verbs from long-term memory, independent of any impairments related to articulatory movements or motor speech execution. The tools for measuring picture naming, the conventional method for assessing anomia, are very limited in Turkey. The aim of this study was to adapt the Test de Dénomination de Québec—60 images/Quebec picture-naming test—60 pictures (TDQ-60), a color picture-naming test for adults and the elderly into Turkish, establish its validity, and develop normative data adapted to the Turkish population to address this gap.MethodWe conducted three separate studies. The objective of Study 1 was to culturally adapt the Test de Dénomination de Québec—60 images. In Study 2, we developed normative data for the TDQ-60 Tr adapted to the adult and elderly population in Turkey based on the performance of 414 community residents aged 18 years and older. In Study 3, the known-group validity, the convergent validity, and the test–retest validity of the TDQ-60 Tr were determined.ResultsThe results show that the TDQ-60 Tr is reliable in distinguishing participants with Alzheimer’s disease and mild cognitive impairment from healthy participants. The TDQ-60 Tr measures the same cognitive construct as the Boston Naming Test and also has a high test–retest reliability.ConclusionsIn summary, the TDQ-60 Tr is a valid and reliable instrument for assessing naming abilities in adults and the elderly. The results of this study have significant implications for the assessment of naming ability in Turkish-speaking patients. Our work serves as a crucial connection to address the lack of tools for diagnosing anomia in Turkey.

  • Replicating the Expected and the Unexpected: Neuropsychological and
           Symptom Profiles in a Neurotypical Romanian-English Bilingual Sample

    • Free pre-print version: Loading...

      Pages: 541 - 552
      Abstract: AbstractEstablishing the effect of limited English proficiency (LEP) on cognitive performance within linguistically diverse populations is central to cross-cultural neuropsychological assessments. The present study was designed to replicate previous research on cognitive profiles in Romanian-English bilinguals. Seventy-six participants (54 women, MAge = 23.16, SDAge = 5.91; MEducation = 14.49, SDEducation = 1.57) completed a neuropsychological battery in English. The Digit Span, Animal and Emotion Fluency, and several symptom-report scales were also administered in Romanian. Performance patterns were similar to previous findings: verbal fluency, auditory verbal learning, and picture and speeded color naming were highly sensitive to LEP. In contrast, visuomotor processing speed and mental flexibility were robust to LEP. Participants performed better when ability tests were administered in their native language; there was no difference on symptom inventories. Test performance was related to the degree of LEP, operationalized as performance on the Boston Naming Test—Short Form. Level of verbal mediation and LEP are independent predictors of cognitive performance. Administering tests in the native language may provide a more accurate measure of cognitive functioning in examinees with LEP (especially at the low end of English proficiency). Developing population-specific norms is a necessary safeguard against the multiple confounding factors in the neuropsychological assessment of individuals with LEP.

  • How Do Neurocognitive Tests Relate to Reported Child Difficulties at
           6 Years of Age in Benin'

      Pages: 565 - 573
      Abstract: AbstractObjectiveThe aim of this study was to examine the relationship between children’s difficulties perceived by parents in the Ten Questions questionnaire (TQ) and children’s assessments by the Kaufman Assessment Battery for Children, Second Edition (KABC-II) and the Bruininks-Oseretsky Test of Motor Proficiency, Second Edition (BOT-2).MethodsThe study was carried out in the district of Allada, a semi-rural area of Benin, involving a cohort of 562 6-year-old children. A response was considered positive if the parent reported a difficulty for their child compared to other children.ResultsThe proportion of TQ-reported difficulties was 34.2%. More difficulties were reported by parents when their child had lower scores on the KABC-II (p < 0.001) and on the BOT-2 (p < 0.01). Greater family wealth, higher maternal education, and better child school attendance were associated with higher KABC-II Mental Processing Index (MPI) scores, higher BOT-2 scores, and fewer reported difficulties on the TQ. The likelihood of parents reporting difficulties was ˃60% when KABC-II MPI scores were low. When considering the KABC-II as the gold standard to define mild delays (mean minus 1 SD), the TQ demonstrated a sensitivity of 51.0% and specificity of 69.4%, which increased to 58% and 72%, respectively, when children attended school.ConclusionObjective assessments of children’s abilities were associated with parents’ perceived difficulties. In a low-resource rural setting in sub-Saharan Africa, the TQ is a useful tool for screening neurodevelopmental difficulties, particularly for children attending school.

  • Bridging Gaps in Neuropsychological Rehabilitation Intensity for
           Post-Stroke Population in Spain

    • Free pre-print version: Loading...

      Pages: 574 - 590
      Abstract: AbstractObjectiveThis study aims to analyze the treatment intensity applied in neurorehabilitation centers in Spain and its relationship with sociodemographic, biomedical, and cognitive variables in post-stroke patients. Current guidelines recommend rehabilitation sessions lasting at least 45 min per day, 2–5 days/week, but there is no consensus on neuropsychology intensity.MethodThis Spanish multicenter, observational, descriptive cross-sectional study included 163 adult participants diagnosed with stroke, collecting 48 biopsychosocial variables. Statistical analyses, including non-parametric tests and linear regressions, were conducted to assess the relationship between intervention intensity and the studied variables.ResultsOur findings reveal an average neuropsychology of 59 min/week, significantly below international recommendations for intensive therapies. Patients in subacute phases (<6 months) and those with severe cognitive impairment (Montreal Cognitive Assessment <21) receive higher-intensity interventions, though still far from optimal standards. Significant differences were also identified between center types, reflecting variations in the resources available.ConclusionThis study not only highlights the need to establish clear intensity criteria in neuropsychology but also provides a foundation for future experimental studies to evaluate the impact of increased intensity on cognitive outcomes. Additionally, future research should analyze whether the observed differences between center types could lead to inequalities in access to therapies. These unique data in the Spanish context can serve as a starting point for designing more equitable and effective clinical guidelines.

      Pages: 604 - 613
      Abstract: AbstractObjectiveThe main goal of this study was to produce linear multiple regression-based normative data of the Hopkins Verbal Learning Test—Revised for the Chilean elderly population.MethodThe study included 229 individuals aged 60–87 years (M = 71.75, SD = 6.64) of both sex (male N = 66, mean age = 72.09 SD = 6.87; female N = 163, mean age = 71.61 SD = 6.57) and educational level (N0–12 years = 68 [29.7%]; N13+ years = 161 [70,3%]).ResultsAge, education, and sex were significantly associated with HVLT-R performance. These demographic variables accounted for 9.4% of the variance in HVLT-R total recall, 11.2% in HVLT-R delayed recall, 8.9% in HVLT-R delayed recognition discrimination index. This study also provides user-friendly percentile rank norms derived from the results of the regression models.ConclusionsThe normative data are presented as regression-based procedures to obtain both direct and derived test scores considering age, education, and sex as predictor variables. This study complies with the guidelines proposed by the Chilean Ministry of Health in its National Plan for Dementias and those of the program for Explicit Health Guarantees by promoting the standardization of instruments that contribute to early diagnosis of neurocognitive disorders in the elderly.

  • The Impact of Behavioral and Psychological Symptoms of Dementia on
           Individual’s Autonomy: a Scoping Review

    • Free pre-print version: Loading...

      Pages: 351 - 362
      Abstract: ABSTRACTThe purpose of this study was to identify, map, summarize, and clarify the existing literature on the effects of behavioral and psychological symptoms of dementia (BPSD) an individual’s autonomy across all types of dementia diagnoses. The study aimed to determine whether there is a correlation between BPSD and a decrease in a person’s autonomy, as this relationship is important for improving dementia care through effective interventions. To achieve this goal, a scoping review was conducted using the Joanna Briggs Institute’s methodology for scoping reviews and the PRISMA extension for scoping reviews checklist. The inclusion criteria were: (i) population: participants with a clinical diagnosis of any type of dementia; (ii) concept: examining the relationship between one or more neuropsychiatric symptoms or BPSD and the individual’s autonomy; (iii) context: the progress of any type and any stage of dementia. The database search yielded 74 records, of which 41 fully met the pre-established eligibility criteria. Most studies in this review focused on participants with Alzheimer’s disease and analysed their functional abilities. Most studies in this review showed significant outcomes regarding the impact of BPSD on a person’s autonomy. The main BPSD investigated in the studies were depression, apathy, irritability, agitation, aggression, disinhibition, and lability. Apathy had a recurrent association with reduced autonomy in persons with dementia, while depression and psychosis were also found to have an impact on individuals’ autonomy.

  • Concurrent Validity of Performance-Based Measures of Daily Functioning
           with Cognitive Measures and Informant Reported Everyday Functioning

    • Free pre-print version: Loading...

      Pages: 363 - 374
      Abstract: AbstractObjectiveDespite the substantial need for reliable and valid assessment of functional ability in older adults, there is currently limited research on the emergence of early functional declines during prodromal dementia stages, such as subjective cognitive decline (SCD) and mild cognitive impairment (MCI). This study uses novel performance-based assessments to characterize subtle, yet clinically meaningful, changes in functional ability.MethodA sample of 93 older adults classified as cognitively unimpaired (CU; n = 30, Mage = 73.57 ± 6.66), SCD (n = 34, Mage = 72.56 ± 6.43), or MCI (n = 29, Mage = 78.28 ± 7.55) underwent neuropsychological testing along with an informant-rated daily functional skills measure (Assessment of Functional Capacity Interview). Participants also completed the Night Out Task (NOT), an open-ended performance-based measure of functional assessment, and the Financial Capacity Instrument–Short Form (FCI-SF) that assesses financial skills.ResultsThe MCI group performed worse on the NOT and FCI-SF relative to SCD and CU. NOT and FCI scores were associated with measures of global cognitive function, executive function, processing speed, language and memory, and FCI-SF overall score was correlated with informant-rated functional ability. The NOT and FCI-SF were also predictive of informant-reported daily functioning over and above traditional cognitive data and demographics.ConclusionsPerformance-based measures of IADL may allow for earlier detection of subtle functional changes that might not be adequately captured by traditional measures. The measurement of early functional changes is an important global outcome to evaluate the efficacy of interventions in dementia research.

      Pages: 375 - 381
      Abstract: AbstractBackgroundTransient global amnesia (TGA), which is described as short-term amnesia, may be influenced by some dietary components involved in brain function. The aim of the present study was to assess the connection between TGA and dietary intake of vitamin B12.MethodsThis cross-sectional study was conducted on 258 people with TGA and 520 people without TGA in Sabzevar, Iran. All participants were screened for TGA (ICD-10 code: G45.4). A validated Food Frequency Questionnaire (FFQ) was utilized to estimate the dietary intake of vitamin B12. Different models of logistic regression were used to determine the association between TGA and dietary intake of vitamin B12 after adjusting the confounders.ResultsThere was an inverse association between the risk of TGA and the intake of vitamin B12 (OR = 0.94, CI 95%: 0.89–0.99, p = .02, effect size: −0.04). The result did not change after adjustment for age, gender, education, job, and marital status (OR = 0.93, CI 95%: 0.88–0.98, p = .01, effect size: −0.03). The result remained significant after additional adjustments for body mass index (BMI) and physical activity (OR = 0.94, CI 95%: 0.89–0.99, p = .03, effect size: −0.04), and after further adjustments for the underlying diseases, including diabetes, hypertension, and stroke (OR = 0.86, CI 95%: 0.81–0.92, p < .01, effect size: −0.10).ConclusionVitamin B12 deficiency may increase the risk of TGA and should be considered as a potential concern for people at risk for TGA. Further studies are needed to validate these findings and to discover the underlying mechanisms of the effects of vitamin B12 on TGA.

  • Feasibility and Clinical Effectiveness of Computer-Based Cognitive
           Rehabilitation in Illiterate and Low-Educated Individuals with Mild
           Cognitive Impairment: Preliminary Data

      Pages: 382 - 393
      Abstract: AbstractObjectiveWe investigated the feasibility of the RehaCom cognitive rehabilitation software in illiterate and low-educated individuals with mild cognitive impairment (MCI) and its clinical effectiveness in improving cognitive functions.MethodsTwenty illiterate or low-educated individuals with MCI were randomly assigned to an intervention (IG; n = 10) and control group (CG; n = 10). The IG participated in the cognitive enhancement program for 6 weeks, twice a week and a duration of 50–60 min for each session, while the CG did not receive any kind of intervention.ResultsThe two groups were demographically matched. The IG successfully completed all sessions of the cognitive enhancement program. A within-subject comparison between baseline and post-intervention assessment of cognitive functions indicated that the IG improved significantly on all administered neuropsychological tests, in contrast to the CG, whose performance remained stable between baseline and final assessment. A between-group comparison found statistically significant differences between the IG and CG groups on the Hindi Mental State Examination, Mini-Mental State Examination, and on delayed memory and recognition tasks, in favor of the IG.ConclusionsThe findings of the present study support the feasibility of applying computerized cognitive enhancement programs to illiterate and low-educated individuals. Moreover, these programs appear to contribute positively to improving the cognitive functions of this population group. In order to generalize and confirm similar findings in a broader population of illiterate and low-educated individuals, future studies should include larger samples, possibly with longer duration of treatment and control groups that will receive non-targeted interventions as placebo interventions.

      Pages: 394 - 408
      Abstract: AbstractObjectivePrecision child and youth mental healthcare has great potential to improve treatment success by tailoring interventions to individual needs. An innovative care pathway in a pediatric mental health outpatient clinic was designed to allow for neuropsychology data to be integrated in psychotherapeutic care. This paper describes the feasibility of this new pathway, including implementation outcomes, acceptability, and potential for future integration.MethodThe target population was outpatients 6–17 years old referred for individual treatment to a tertiary outpatient mental health (OPMH) clinic. The new care pathway was co-developed by neuropsychologists and mental health practitioners. A logic model was created to guide the evaluation, which was informed by the Reach Effectiveness Adoption Implementation Maintenance framework. As part of the logic model, a stepped assessment protocol was implemented, and reports on neuropsychological function were shared with patients, caregivers, and care providers. Evaluation data were collected from phone surveys, questionnaires, a focus group, and administrative records.ResultsForty-two patients scheduled to receive therapy over a 6-month period were offered the opportunity to participate in the new care pathway and 39 (93%) agreed. Self-reported outcome data showed that 83% of patients and 94% of caregivers valued neuropsychology-informed care, with some describing it as transformative. Almost all practitioners (91%) reported that the project added value to their clinical care. There were no adverse effects on participants nor the flow of patients through the system.ConclusionsNeuropsychology-informed pediatric OPMH care was feasible and well-received. Clinical effectiveness should be studied in an experimental trial.

      Pages: 409 - 424
      Abstract: AbstractObjectiveAlthough elevated social anxiety in developmental prosopagnosia (DP) has been reported in anecdotal and qualitative studies, the current study sought to better quantify the prevalence, severity, and moderators of social anxiety in a large DP sample.MethodA total of 88 DPs and 58 controls completed the validated Social Interaction Anxiety Scale and assessments of face recognition, autism traits, personality (Big Five Inventory), and coping strategies.ResultsDPs reported greater social anxiety symptoms (M = 30.25) than controls (M = 17.19), with 44% of DPs above a probable clinical cutoff compared with 14% of controls. Exploratory analyses revealed that DPs’ social anxiety was more specific to items pertaining to mixing socially or interacting with unfamiliar people. Notably, several DPs reported minimal social anxiety, which was associated with being more extraverted and having fewer autism traits. A follow-up survey revealed that extraverted DPs more openly disclosed face recognition inabilities than introverted DPs, which may be a factor in their reduced social anxiety.ConclusionThese results better quantify the potential serious psychosocial consequences of DP and highlight the importance of individual differences as well as targeted intervention.

  • Neurocognitive Intraindividual Variability in Veterans with Mild Traumatic
           Brain Injury History and Posttraumatic Stress Disorder

    • Free pre-print version: Loading...

      Pages: 425 - 436
      Abstract: AbstractObjectiveVeterans with a history of blast-related mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI) and posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) may be at risk for greater cognitive concerns and worse functional outcomes compared to those with either condition in isolation. However, traditional neuropsychological assessment approaches have yielded equivocal results in these populations. The present study examined an alternative method for detecting subtle cognitive inefficiencies: neurocognitive intraindividual variability (IIV), a measure of within-person performance consistency.MethodParticipants were 79 male Veterans with a history of blast-related mTBI and current PTSD (mTBI/PTSD group; n = 54) or neither diagnosis (controls; n = 25). Mean T-scores and IIV scores were calculated from neuropsychological measures of attention and speed of information processing (A/SoP) as well as executive functioning (EF).ResultsGlobal IIV was significantly higher in the mTBI/PTSD group compared to controls (p = .047, Cohen’s d = 0.49). At the domain level, larger effect sizes were observed for EF IIV (Cohen’s d = 0.46) compared to A/SoP IIV (d = 0.32), although neither were statistically significant. Within the mTBI/PTSD group, higher Global IIV was associated with worse self-reported executive dysfunction, psychological quality of life, and cognitive post-concussive symptoms; at the domain level, these clinical outcomes were generally associated with greater A/SoP IIV (but not EF IIV).ConclusionFindings extend previous investigations of neurocognitive IIV in individuals with a history of mTBI across PTSD status. Among Veterans with a history of mTBI and comorbid PTSD, neurocognitive variability may be a better indicator of self-reported cognitive inefficiencies and Veteran experience of daily cognitive functioning than mean neuropsychological performances.

      Pages: 437 - 444
      Abstract: AbstractBackgroundConcussions damage neurologic tissue, increasing release of intercellular proteins including phosphorylated Tau (pTau) and neurofilament light (NfL). Disrupted sleep from a concussion negatively impacts the ability of the glymphatic system to remove cellular waste from the brain.ObjectiveThe purpose of this study was to determine if enhancing sleep using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia (CBT-I) impacts pTau and NFL levels following a concussion.MethodsThis is pre/post intervention analysis of a larger wait-list control study. Participants had their blood sampled pre/post the CBT-I intervention which was analyzed using SIMOA analytics. Paired sampling statistics and linear regression models were used to examine how insomnia severity impacts pTau181 and NfL.ResultsTwenty-eight participants were enrolled in this study. Age and baseline protein level were significantly associated with post-intervention protein levels, but post-intervention insomnia severity was not associated with post-intervention protein levels. About 50% of participants that had clinically meaningful change in insomnia and had a reduction in their NfL and pTau181 values.ConclusionsPost-intervention insomnia was not associated with post-intervention NfL or pTau. Yet, on an individual level, ~50% of participants had a clinically meaningful change in insomnia and reduced level of NfL and pTau 18.1.Clinical Trial RegistrationNCT04885205 https://clinicaltrials.gov

  • Identifying Factors that Increase False-Positive Rates on Embedded
           Performance Validity Testing in ADHD Evaluations

    • Free pre-print version: Loading...

      Pages: 445 - 455
      Abstract: AbstractObjectiveThis study investigated why certain embedded performance validity indicators (EVIs) are prone to higher false-positive rates (FPRs) in attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) evaluations. The first aim was to establish the relationship between FPRs and 15 EVIs derived from six cognitive tests when used independently and together among adults with ADHD who have valid test performance. The second aim was to determine which specific EVIs increase the FPRs in this population.MethodParticipants were 517 adult ADHD referrals with valid neurocognitive test performance as determined by multiple performance validity tests and established empirical criteria. FPRs were defined by the proportion of participants who scored below an empirically established EVI cutoff with ≥0.90 specificity.ResultsEVIs derived from two of the six tests exhibited unacceptably high FPRs (>10%) when used independently, but the total FPR decreased to 8.1% when the EVIs were aggregated. Several EVIs within a sustained attention test were associated with FPRs around 11%. EVIs that did not include demographically adjusted cutoffs, specifically for race, were associated with higher FPRs around 14%. Conversely, FPRs did not significantly differ based on whether EVIs included timed versus untimed, verbal versus nonverbal, or graphomotor versus non-graphomotor components, nor whether they had raw versus standardized cut scores.ConclusionsFindings suggest that practitioners should consider both the type of test from which an EVI is derived and the aggregate number of EVIs employed to minimize the FPRs in ADHD evaluations. Findings also indicate that more nuanced approaches to validity test selection and development are needed.

           Persian-Speaking Older Adults: Reliability, Construct Validity, and
           Normative Standards

      Abstract: AbstractObjectiveAs people enter old age, they develop diseases, challenges, and cognitive and behavioral deficits that are associated with decreased abilities. Memory abilities and deficiencies and impaired models can be assessed using neuropsychological instruments, and a rehabilitation program can be developed based on the individuals’ memory deficits. The present cross-sectional research aims to develop a new test (henceforth known as the Persian Verbal Learning Test, or PVLT) that is appropriate for Persian-speaking older adults.MethodsFor normative data, we administered PVLT to a group of 374 Persian-speaking healthy older adults consisting of both genders (190 women and 184 men) who were aged 60–89 years old. To determine reliability and validity, we evaluated neurologically healthy older adults and analyzed the results using intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) and Pearson’s correlation coefficient.ResultsThe present findings showed that age, education, and gender significantly affect subtests of the PVLT. In the evaluation of reliability, significant positive correlations were observed between the variables of the PVLT in the standard/standard form. Furthermore, moderate correlations were observed between PVLT variables (immediate recall, short-delay recall, long-delay recall, and recognition), and the Immediate and Delayed Logical Memory subtests of Wechsler Memory Scale-Revised (WMS-R). However, subtests of the PVLT also showed significantly positive correlations with MoCA and non-verbal variables of WMS-R.ConclusionAccording to the results of this study and given the good psychometric properties obtained, PVLT can potentially be used as a more appropriate tool than the SVLT for Persian-speaking older adults.

      Pages: 510 - 519
      Abstract: AbstractObjectiveTo generate normative data for the Verbal Fluency Test (VFT) and the Boston Naming Test (BNT) in the Costa Rican population.MethodThe sample consisted of 563 healthy older people (aged 59–90 years). Polynomial multiple regression analyses were run to evaluate the effects of the age, sex, and education variables on VFT and BNT scores.ResultsThe results showed a significant linear effect of education on the four-letter VF scores and an effect of sex on the letter P score, with females performing better than males. The explained variance ranged from 20.9% to 28.3%. A linear effect of age and education was also found for the four semantic VF scores, with scores decreasing with increasing age and lower education. The sex variable was significant for all semantic categories, with females performing better than males except in the animal category. The explained variance ranged from 21.7% to 30.9%. In the BNT, a linear effect of education was found, so that the more education, the better the score. In addition, a sex effect was also found, with males having higher scores than females. The predictors of the model explained 9.6% of the variance.ConclusionsThis is the first study that generates normative data for the VF and BNT in the Costa Rican population over 59 years of age based on demographic variables. The use of these normative data will help clinicians in Costa Rica to better understand language functioning in the elderly, allowing for better classification and diagnosis in the future.

      Abstract: AbstractBackgroundMultiple sclerosis (MS) is a potentially disabling disease of the brain and spinal cord. This cross-sectional study aimed to validate the Arabic version of the Multiple Sclerosis Impact Scale-29 (MSIS-29) using Rasch analysis to assess quality of life in Jordanian MS patients.MethodRasch analysis was conducted to evaluate the suitability of the model for the present study. Model fit was assessed by computing item/person separation reliability, infit and outfit mean square (MSQ) values, Cronbach's alpha, and the Akaike Information Criterion.ResultsA total of 301 MS patients were enrolled in the study. Significant likelihood ratios for all three scales (MSIS-29-PHYSICAL, MSIS-29-PSYCHOLOGICAL, and MSIS-29-TOTAL) supported the use of a partial credit Rasch model. An issue with disordered thresholds was resolved by collapsing adjacent response categories. Item reliability scores for MSIS-29-PHYS and MSIS-29-PSYCH were 0.95 and 0.89, respectively, while person reliability scores were 0.92 and 0.84, respectively. Infit and outfit MSQ were within the acceptable range for all items on the MSIS-29-PSYCH scale. However, for the MSIS-29-PHYS scale, item MSIS-29_17 exceeded the acceptable range in both infit (1.93) and outfit (1.82) MSQs, and item MSIS-29_20 exceeded the acceptable range in infit (1.81). The Wright map also indicated that most items were considered relatively easy by the respondents, exhibiting various difficulty levels on the latent scale.ConclusionThe Arabic version of the MSIS-29 is a valid and reliable tool for evaluating quality of life in Jordanian MS patients.

      Abstract: AbstractObjectiveThis study aims to adapt and provide psychometric support for the validation of version B of the Edinburgh Cognitive and Behavioural ALS Screen (ECAS) for the Portuguese population, addressing the need for consistent cognitive evaluations in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). A second culturally adapted ECAS screen facilitates the accurate characterization of ALS progression, mitigates learning effects, and supports tailored care management.MethodsThe adaptation process included forward-backward translation, cultural adaptation, and cognitive debriefing on a prospective sample of 193 ALS patients and 106 controls. A multiple regression analysis identified predictors relevant for establishing ECAS cut-off scores. Psychometric evaluations, including reliability assessments and tests of convergent, construct, and criterion validity, were conducted. Additionally, version A's psychometric properties were reevaluated with complementary analyses and a larger sample.ResultsVersion B demonstrated good internal consistency with Cronbach's alpha of 0.802, comparable to the previously established version A. Moderate inter-item correlations further supported reliability, reflecting internal coherence. Equivalence testing between the Portuguese versions supported convergent validity, confirming version B's alignment with version A's theoretical framework. Exploratory factor analysis provided preliminary support for construct validity, and receiver operating characteristic analyses established cut-off values for both versions, revealing moderate sensitivity with a tendency toward false negatives, and higher specificity.ConclusionsThis study provided evidence for the cultural suitability, reliability, and validity of the Portuguese ECAS B. As evidence supports the equivalence of the Portuguese ECAS versions, they can be used for flexible screenings and applied with the calculated cut-off values to enhance diagnostic accuracy.

      Abstract: AbstractObjectivesThe aim of the present study was to adjust the frontier executive screen (FES) for the Greek population, to develop normative data, and to investigate its ability to discriminate patients diagnosed with frontotemporal dementia from healthy individuals.MethodsThe FES was administered to 142 community-dwelling healthy adults (age: M = 65.9, SD = 8.5; education: M = 10.8, SD = 4.3; sex: 59% female) and 32 patients diagnosed with frontotemporal dementia (age: M = 69.3, SD = 8.6; education: M = 11.7, SD = 4.8; sex: 31% female). Correlation and regression analyses were performed to determine the association between the FES scores, demographic, and clinical characteristics. Cronbach’s α coefficient was used to determine internal consistency. Group differences on the FES were examined with independent samples t-test and Mann–Whitney test. Discriminant and ROC analyses were used to determine diagnostic accuracy and to identify the optimal cutoff score for the discrimination between groups.ResultsRegression analyses indicated associations between demographic characteristics and FES scores (age: R2 = .08; education: R2 = .33). Internal consistency was marginally acceptable (α = .69). Patients scored lower than healthy participants on the total FES score (d = 1.91) and its three subscores (verbal fluency: η2 = .60; inhibition: η2 = .52; working memory: d = 0.90). The results indicated high diagnostic accuracy (94%) and the optimal cutoff score was 7 (91% sensitivity, 78% specificity).ConclusionsThe Greek version of the FES is a useful tool for the brief evaluation of executive functions in patients diagnosed with frontotemporal dementia.

      Abstract: AbstractObjectiveThe aim of the present study was to validate the Communication and Language Assessment questionnaire for persons with Multiple Sclerosis (CLAMS) into the Greek language.Method106 Persons with Multiple Sclerosis (PwMS) and 51 healthy controls (HCs) participated in this study. We evaluated patients’ cognitive abilities with the Brief International Cognitive Assessment for Multiple Sclerosis (BICAMS). All PwMS completed the CLAMS and three additional questionnaires (Speech Pathology-Specific Questionnaire for persons with Multiple Sclerosis, SMS; Stroke and Aphasia Quality of Life Scale-39, SAQOL-39; the Beck Depression Inventory Fast Screen, BDI-FS), and all HCs filled in the CLAMS.ResultsThe internal consistency of the CLAMS was excellent (a = 0.933) for the PwMS and a significant difference was found between PwMS and HCs for the total CLAMS score. Statistical analyses showed a significant positive correlation between the CLAMS and the other questionnaires (SMS, BDI, and SAQOL-39) and a statistically significant negative correlation between the CLAMS and the three subtests of the BICAMS (Symbol Digit Modalities Test, Greek Verbal Learning Test-II, and Brief Visuospatial Memory Test-Revised). There was no correlation between the CLAMS and participants’ age, disease duration, and disease type.ConclusionThe Greek version of the CLAMS is a valid self-reported questionnaire for the evaluation of language and communication symptoms in PwMS.

  • Illiterate Addenbrooke’s Cognitive Examination-III in Three Indian
           Languages: An Adaptation and Validation Study

    • Free pre-print version: Loading...

      Pages: 642 - 654
      Abstract: AbstractBackgroundLiteracy is an important factor that predicts cognitive performance. Existing cognitive screening tools are validated only in educated populations and are not appropriate for older adults with little or no education leading to poor performance on these tests and eventually leading to misdiagnosis. This challenge for clinicians necessitates a screening tool suitable for illiterate or low-literate older individuals.ObjectivesThe objective was to adapt and validate Addenbrooke’s Cognitive Examination-III (ACE-III) for screening general cognitive functions in illiterate and low-literate older populations in the Indian context in three languages.MethodThe Indian illiterate ACE-III was systematically adapted by modifying the original items of the Indian literate ACE-III to assess the cognitive functions of illiterates and low-literates with the consensus of an expert panel of professionals working in the area of dementia and related disorders. A total of 180 illiterate or low-literate participants (84 healthy-controls, 50 with dementia, and 46 with mild cognitive impairment [MCI]) were recruited from three different centers speaking Bengali, Hindi, and Kannada to validate the adapted version.ResultsThe optimal cut-off score for illiterate ACE-III to distinguish controls from dementia in all 3 languages was 75. The optimal cut-off scores in distinguishing between controls and MCI ranged from 79 to 82, with a sensitivity ranging from 93% to 99% and a specificity ranging from 72% to 99%.ConclusionThe test is found to have good psychometric properties and is a reliable cognitive screening tool for identifying dementia and MCI in older adults with low educational backgrounds in the Indian context.

      Abstract: AbstractObjectiveCognitive assessment is a crucial element of the mental health screening process. However, there is a lack of culturally appropriate cognitive screening tools for the Hindi-speaking aging population in India. We aimed to translate and culturally tailor the English version of the computerized Cognistat test for the Hindi-speaking aging population.MethodThe computer-based Cognistat Assessment System was culturally adapted for the North Indian Hindi-speaking population. Participants with mild cognitive impairment (MCI) (n = 30), depression (n = 30), and healthy control (n = 30) groups between the age range of 50 and 83 years were assessed using the translated version of the tool. The group differences were analyzed using analysis of variance, multivariate analysis of variance, Tukey’s post hoc analysis for continuous variables, and Fisher’s exact test for categorical variables. The correlation between the Cognistat domains was analyzed using Pearson’s correlation, and test reliability was assessed using Cronbach’s alpha.ResultsThe MCI group had significantly lower scores as compared with the depression and control groups on orientation, language, repetition, and calculation domain tasks. For attention and construction tasks, the MCI group had lower scores than the control group. MCI group scores were significantly lower than the control group on naming domain. The Hindi version of the test was reliable for the Hindi-speaking aging population.ConclusionsCognistat Hindi can be used by trained healthcare professionals with Hindi-speaking populations for culturally tailored primary evaluation of cognitive difficulties. Future research should focus on further validation and assessment of its properties.

  • The Quebec Semantic Memory Battery: Development, Standardization, and
           Psychometric Assessment of a Semantic Memory Battery in French

    • Free pre-print version: Loading...

      Pages: 681 - 693
      Abstract: AbstractObjectivePeople with aphasia often experience semantic memory (SM) impairment. To improve diagnostic outcomes, SM tasks should recruit various sensory input channels (oral, written, and pictographic), permitting accessible, complete evaluation. There is a need for SM batteries for French-speaking Quebecers that use multiple input channels. The present study, therefore, describes the development of a novel French-language semantic battery: la Batterie québécoise de la mémoire sémantique (BQMS), the assessment of the BQMS’s psychometric properties, and the establishment of normative data for the BQMS.MethodWe first developed eight SM tasks. Following a pilot validation study, we determined the BQMS’s reliability and validity, to ensure consistent, accurate detection of SM impairment. Among French-speaking Quebecers with cerebrovascular aphasia (n = 10), people with the semantic variant of Primary Progressive Aphasia (n = 4), and healthy controls (n = 14), we examined its convergent validity, concurrent validity, test–retest reliability, and internal consistency. Finally, we established normative data for the BQMS by calculating cut-off scores per task that indicate SM impairment (in 93 cognitively healthy French-speaking Quebecers), stratified by sociodemographic variables associated with performance.ResultsThe BQMS shows high concurrent, discriminant, and convergent validity, as well as good test–retest reliability and internal consistency. The cut-off score indicating SM impairment ranged from the 2nd to 25th percentiles (stratified by task, age, and sex).ConclusionsThe BQMS’s psychometric properties indicate that it could be a valuable clinical tool for detecting SM impairment. Our normative data will help clinicians detect such impairments.

      Pages: 694 - 707
      Abstract: AbstractObjectiveThe mini Social cognition & Emotional Assessment (mini-SEA) is a social cognition battery which assesses theory of mind and emotion recognition. Currently, no psychometrically validated measure of social cognition with adapted normative data exists for the middle-aged and elderly French-Quebec population. This project aims to determine the known-group discriminant validity of a cultural and linguistic adaptation of the mini-SEA between cognitively healthy people, those with mild cognitive impairment (MCI) or living with Alzheimer’s Disease (AD). This study also aims to examine the stability of mini-SEA’s performance over a 3–4-month time period, as well as to produce normative data for French-Quebec people aged 50 years. Normative data are derived for the full and an abbreviated version of the Faux Pas subtest.MethodThe sample included 211 French-speaking participants from Quebec (Canada) aged 50 to 89 years. Mini-SEA’s performance between a sub-sample of cognitively healthy people (n = 20), those with MCI (n = 20) or with AD (n = 20) was compared. A sub-sample of cognitively healthy people (n = 30) performed the task twice to estimate test–retest reliability. Socio-demographic variables’ effects on scores were examined to produce normative data in the form of regression equations or percentile ranks.ResultsSignificant differences emerged between cognitively healthy people and those with MCI or AD. Moreover, scores were relatively stable over a period of 3 to 4 months. Finally, for the normative data, age, gender, and education were associated with performance on the mini-SEA or its subtests.ConclusionsThis study improves and standardizes social cognition’s assessment among French–Quebec individuals, which will help characterize their cognitive profile.

      Abstract: AbstractObjectiveThe production of words in verbal fluency tests relies heavily on executive functions and linguistic abilities. New tests such as the famous people fluency test can also be useful in clinical practice and research. This test, in which participants are asked to name so many famous people, has the potential to distinguish healthy individuals from participants with neurological disorders such as mild cognitive impairment or Alzheimer’s disease.MethodThe aim of this study was to determine the psychometric validity of the test (Study 1) and to provide normative data in the adult population of French Quebec for the famous people fluency test (Study 2).ResultsThe results of the normative study, derived from a sample of 378 healthy individuals between the ages of 50 and 92, showed that age and educational level significantly influence performance on the test. Therefore, percentile ranks were calculated for performance on the famous people fluency test, stratified for these two variables. The results of Study 2 showed that the test differentiated the performance of healthy participants from the performance of participants with mild cognitive impairment or Alzheimer’s disease. The results also showed that the famous people fluency test has adequate convergent validity, established with a semantic fluency test, and that the results showed good stability over time (test–retest validity).ConclusionNorms and psychometric data for the famous people fluency test will improve the ability of clinicians and researchers to better recognize executive and language impairments associated with pathological conditions.

  • Multicenter Validation of the English Version of the Dépistage Cognitif
           de Québec: a Cognitive Screening Tool for Atypical Dementias

      Pages: 718 - 722
      Abstract: AbstractBackgroundEarly detection of atypical dementia remains difficult partly because of the absence of specific cognitive screening tools. This creates undue delays in diagnosis and management. The Dépistage Cognitif de Québec (DCQ; dcqtest.org) was developed in French and later validated in participants with atypical syndromes. We report the validation of the English version.MethodsThis multicentre prospective validation study was conducted in 10 centers across Canada and the United States on 260 English-speaking participants aged over 50. We translated and modified the original French DCQ to add targeted stimuli to the Visusopatial Index and social cognition vignettes to the Behavioral Index. A backward translation was performed and equivalence between languages was assessed by administering both tests to 30 bilingual participants.ResultsMean DCQ total score (out of 100) was 95.0 (SD = 3.6). Spearman’s correlation coefficient showed a strong and significant correlation (r = 0.49, p < .001) with the Montreal Cognitive Assessment. Test–retest reliability was good (Spearman’s coefficient = 0.72, p < .001) and interrater reliability, excellent (intraclass correlation = 0.97, p < .001). Normative data shown in percentiles were stratified by age and education for a population-based sample of 260 English-speaking controls aged between 50 and 87 years old.ConclusionsSimilar to the French version, the English DCQ proved to be a valid cognitive screening test. The original version was very sensitive to detect atypical dementias such as primary progressive aphasias, Alzheimer’s disease’ variants and syndromes along the frontotemporolobar degeneration spectrum. This 20-min test can be administered à la carte and offers an alternative to detailed comprehensive neuropsychological evaluations.
