“…Additional studies by Carnero-Pardo and colleagues 39 sought to expand Phototest evaluation with a multicenter study (n = 589) in 2012 and found similar results, but in this case, clients diagnosed with mild AD dementia yielded 88% sensitivity and 87% specificity at a 26/27, while participants with amnestic MCI yielded lower sensitivity and specificity at the same cut-off score (71% and 84%, respectively). Since then Carnero-Pardo and colleagues have used cognitively normal participants to provide normative data based on age, sex, and education 92 and compared the clinical and cost-effectiveness of Phototest (based on neuropsychiatric evaluation outcomes) with the MMSE, MIS, 93 Eurotest, and Memory Alteration Test (M@T). 86 Phototest outperformed the MMSE on both cost and diagnostic accuracy and can be used with illiterate patients, unlike MIS, 93 and takes significantly less time to administer than M@T and Eurotest thus providing additional value for time-limited clinical settings.…”

Increasing rates of dementia spectrum disorders among Spanish-speaking geriatric populations necessitate the development of culturally appropriate cognitive screening tests that can identify neurodegenerative disorders in their earliest stages when emerging disease-modifying treatments are most likely to be effective. This scoping review identified 26 brief Spanish language cognitive screening tools (<20 minutes) by searching academic databases using a combination of search terms. Results suggest that the Mini-Mental Status Examination and Montreal Cognitive Assessment appear to be less valid than other screeners. Instruments such as the 7-Minute Screen and Mini-Cog evidence higher classification rates of dementia, while Phototest detected mild cognitive impairment at higher rates more consistently than other screeners. Different sensitivity and specificity outcomes and cutoffs were observed when the same cognitive screener was evaluated in different countries. Results indicate that it is imperative to increase nation-specific validation and normative data for these instruments to best serve diverse populations.

“…However, MMSE may be not reliable for participants with low educational level 33,34 and was deliberately avoided in this study. The Phototest, 18,19 a picture screening test with normative data collected in Spain, 35 was used instead. This test was shown to be robust to educational level.…”

Background: TMA-93 examines binding by images, an advantage for the less educated individuals. Aim: To compare the discriminative validity of TMA-93 against the picture version of Free and Cued Selective Reminding Test (FCSRT) to distinguish patients with amnestic mild cognitive impairment (aMCI) from normal controls (NCs) without excluding less educated individuals. Methods: Design: Phase I diagnostic evaluation study. Participants: A total of 30 patients with aMCI and 30 NCs matched for sociodemographics variables. Statistical Analysis: The diagnostic accuracy for each test was calculated by conducting receiver operating characteristic curve analysis. Hanley and McNeil method was used to compare diagnostic accuracy of different tests on the same sample. Results: Up to 41.7% of the sample had less than a first grade of education. Both tests showed excellent diagnostic accuracy. The comparisons did not show significant differences. Conclusions: TMA-93 is so accurate as FCSRT to differentiate aMCI from controls including less educated individuals. The test could be considered as a choice in this sociodemographic context.

“…For the test-retest reliability, HCs were recruited among the participants in the Spanish normative study for the TMA-93 [ 24 ]. The inclusion criteria for this study were: 1) age equal to or above 50; 2) no cognitive complaints; 3) score equal or above 10-percentile according to normative data for the Phototest in Spain [ 25 ]; and 4) independent level of functioning. 51 randomly selected HCs were invited to repeat the TMA-93 conducted by the same examiner (SRH) between 2 and 4 months after the initial examination.…”

Background: Memory tests focused on binding may be more sensitive to diagnose Alzheimer’s disease (AD) at an early phase. TMA-93 examines relational binding by images. Objective: Evaluate the reliability (internal consistency and inter-rater and test-retest reliability) and feasibility of the TMA-93 in a clinic setting with low-educated individuals and limited face-to-face time per patient. Methods: The study was undertaken in a neurology outpatient clinic of a hospital in Southern Spain. The internal consistency of the TMA-93 was estimated in 35 patients with amnestic mild cognitive impairment (aMCI) and 40 healthy controls (HCs). The inter-rater reliability (by two raters) and feasibility (by recording the percentage of participants who completed the test, and by timing the administration time) were evaluated in HCs (n = 16), aMCI patients (n = 18), and mild dementia patients (n = 15). The test-retest reliability for the TMA-93 total score was studied in 51 HCs tested by the same examiner 2–4 months apart. The internal consistency was estimated by Cronbach’s alpha. The inter-rater and test-retest reliability was quantified by the intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC). The administration time was compared by diagnosis. Results: The internal consistency was “optimal” (Cronbach’s alpha = 0.936). The test-retest reliability was “good” [ICC = 0.802 (CI 95% = 0.653–0.887)]. The inter-rater reliability was “optimal” [ICC = 0.999, (CI 95% = 0.999–1)]. All participants completed the test. The administration time ranged from less than 3 min in HCs to 6 min in aMCI patients, and 7 min in mild dementia patients. Conclusion: Good feasibility and reliability support using the TMA-93 for examining visual relational binding, particularly in the context of low-educational attainment and limited time per patient.
