ABSTRACT

INTRODUCTION: The objective of this study is to evaluate the reliability and validity of the ReVeRe^TM word list recall test (RWLRT), which uses speech recognition, when administered remotely and unsupervised. METHODS: Prospective cohort study. Participants included 249 cognitively intact community dwelling older adults. Measures included clinician administered neuropsychological assessments at baseline and unsupervised remotely administered tests of cognition from six time-points over six months. RESULTS: The RWLRT showed acceptable validity. Reliability coefficients varied across time points, with poor reliability between times 1 and 2 and fair-to-good reliability across the remaining five testing sessions. Practice effects were observed with repeated administration as expected. DISCUSSION: Unsupervised computerized tests of cognition, particularly word list learning and memory tests that use speech recognition, have significant potential for large scale early detection and long-term tracking of cognitive decline due to AD.

摘要

简介：本研究的目的是评估 ReVeRe ^{TM的可靠性和有效性}单词列表回忆测试 (RWLRT)，在远程和无人监督的情况下使用语音识别。方法：前瞻性队列研究。参与者包括 249 名认知完整的社区老年人。措施包括临床医生在基线时进行的神经心理学评估，以及在六个月内从六个时间点进行的无人监督的远程认知测试。结果：RWLRT 显示了可接受的有效性。可靠性系数因时间点而异，第 1 次和第 2 次之间的可靠性较差，而其余五个测试阶段的可靠性从一般到良好。正如预期的那样，通过重复给药观察到实践效果。讨论：无监督的计算机化认知测试，特别是使用语音识别的单词列表学习和记忆测试，
