The Balloon Analogue Risk Task (BART) is a computerized decision-making task that provides a test of behavioral risk taking. The task is increasingly used in laboratory settings and in the field with young adults and adolescents. However, there are currently no published data about the test-retest characteristics of the task when it is administered on separate days. The current paper addresses this gap. Risky behavior on the BART (adjusted average pumps) showed acceptable test-retest reliability across days (r = +.77, p < .001). The data indicate that risk behavior on the BART has adequate test-retest stability and therefore performance on the task on a single occasion is likely to be representative of an individual’s performance on other occasions.

“…For each board, the experimenter counts the number of words that have been read or colors named within the 45 seconds. The test-retest reliability of all these cognitive tests was moderate to high [12,13]. The total number of direct and indirect digit recalls in correct order, a ratio score of TMT (i.e., TMTB/TMTA) and a ratio score of Stroop (i.e., (''No Interference" [color])/''Interference" [color - word]) were used as outcomes.…”

BackgroundFew studies looked at the association between gait variability and executive subdomains (ESD). The aim of this study was to examine the association between ESD (i.e., information updating and monitoring) and stride time variability among healthy older adults.MethodsSeventy-eight healthy older adults (mean age 69.9 ± 0.9 years, 59% women) were divided into 3 groups according to stride time variability (STV) tertiles while steady state walking. Coefficient of variation of stride time was used as a marker of STV. Scores on cognitive tests evaluating information updating and monitoring (Digit Span test), mental shifting (Trail Making Test part A and part B) and cognitive inhibition (Stroop Color Word test) were used as measures of ESD.ResultsThe full adjusted and the stepwise backward logistic regression models showed that the highest tertile (i.e., the worst performance) of STV was only associated with lower Digit Span performance (Odds ratio = 0.78 with P = 0.020 and Odds ratio = 0.81 with P = 0.019).ConclusionsInformation updating and monitoring are associated with STV in the sample of studied participants, suggesting that walking may be a complex motor task depending specifically of this subdomain of executive functions.

“…The Computerized Neurocognitive Function Test employing the computer can assess cognitive function employing the advantages of the computer, such as standardizing the presentation of stimuli and the reaction process, securing the test-retest reliability, accuracy of measurement, and ease of explaining the procedure and results [11]. In addition, since it has a high correlation with MMSE, it can be used not only for assessment of the cognitive function of the general population but also for assessment of the cognitive function and evaluation of the therapeutic effect of brain injured patients [10].…”

Purpose: The purpose of this study is to examine the cognitive function in the elderly and to identify the influencing factors. Methods: The design of this study was descriptive research design. A total of 139 elderly people (aged 65 years and over) visiting the electroencephalogram (EEG) center in Seoul, Korea were evaluated. Data were assessed by self-administered questionnaires and CNS Vital Signs (CNSVS). Data were analyzed using SPSS Statistics 23.0 for Windows. Results: There were significant differences in the Korean Mini-Mental State Examination (K-MMSE), executive functions and reasoning according to education level. K-MMSE, visual memory and executive functions were different depending on the jobs. Age was highly correlated with cognitive function. In addition, stepwise multiple regression analyses showed that the factor significantly associated with reaction time and visual memory was depression. Depression and Trait-Anxiety had significant impacts on executive functions and K-MMSE. Conclusion: CNSVS enabled the accurate and objective measurement of cognitive function. Therefore, this study provides useful data to improve cognitive function of the community-dwelling elderly. The results suggested that there is need for comprehensive interventional programs that manage cognitive impairment.
