Research demonstrates potential validity tests for cognitive screening in dementia, suggesting further validation is needed.
Key Points
The aim is to evaluate the effectiveness of Object Recognition and ACE-III Digit Span tests as performance validity tests for cognitive screening in dementia.
Utilized known-group design for accurate test evaluation.
Employed confirmatory data analysis procedures to assess test validity.
Considered administration protocols for non-neuropsychologists during testing.
Identified Object Recognition and ACE-III Digit Span tests as candidate PVTs.
Results indicate positive performance for these tests in assessing cognitive function.
Further validation studies recommended before clinical implementation.
