| Popis: | Objective Despite the growing interest and literature supporting the validity and reliability of teleneuropsychology during the COVID-19 pandemic, little research exists on the reliability of the Oral Trail Making Test (OTMT) administered via videoconference. Previous work examining telephone administration of OTMT found good reliability across formats for Part B, but not Part A, suggesting further reliability studies on OTMT are needed. Method 119 healthy aging controls and 84 individuals with mild cognitive impairment or dementia (M age = 68.37, SD = 9.57; 63% female; M education = 14.08, SD 2.73 years) were administered a brief neuropsychological battery including OTMT in counterbalanced face-to-face (FF) and videoconference (VC) conditions. T-tests and intraclass correlations (ICC’s) were used to compare results between testing conditions across groups. Results Among controls, the mean differences (MD) between conditions on OTMT-A (MD = -1.6, SD = 1.96) and B (MD = 1.6, SD = 54.77) were small, but statistically significant for OTMT-A; p Conclusions While similar mean OTMT scores were seen across test conditions, SD’s were large. ICC’s were only moderate, and scores on OTMT-A were even more variable than OTMT-B, similar to previous reports. Results support the utility of using the OTMT in teleneuropsychological assessment, but suggest cautious interpretation of findings given the variability in scores seen. |
