Background and Objectives
Mobile testing of executive deficits in substance‐related addictions is highly novel but requires validation.
Methods
Sixty‐one individuals (34 patients, 27 healthy controls) completed Ecological Momentary Assessments with mobile executive tests.
Results
Compliance with the tests was high (78% to 91%) in both the patient and control groups. No fatigue effects were detected, practice effects were observed for controls only, and convergent validity was found relative to neuropsychological assessments.
Conclusions The use of mobile cognitive testing is feasible and valid in this population.
Scientific Significance Mobile cognitive tests provide new opportunities for both research and clinical intervention. (Am J Addict 2018;27:553–556)
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
