“…As seen in previous factor analyses of the CNB, the Penn Conditional Exclusion Test, which measures abstraction and mental flexibility and should theoretically load on the executive functions domain, loaded more strongly on the complex cognition domain in this sample. Despite this one violation of theoretical expectations, these results support the structural validity of the translated instrument, enabling comparison of domain data with other studies (Rotimi et al, 2017; Izgi et al, 2021; Service et al, 2020).…”

“…The Penn Computerized Neurocognitive Battery (PennCNB) (Gur et al, 2001(Gur et al, , 2010) is a publicly available platform for administering "neurobehavioral probes" adapted from functional neuroimaging tasks (Gur et al, 1992) and designed to assess both theoretical psychological constructs (e.g., working memory) and their underlying brain networks (Roalf et al, 2014;Satterthwaite et al, 2013). The PennCNB has been utilized in multiple populations (Gur et al, 2012;Hartung et al, 2016;Iannacone et al, 2014), including large-scale genomic studies (Aliyu et al, 2006;Almasy et al, 2008;Gur et al, 2012;Swagerman et al, 2016), longitudinal research (Calkins et al, 2017;Ibrahim et al, 2015;Izgi et al, 2021), treatment studies (Bhatia et al, 2012(Bhatia et al, , 2017Tang et al, 2020;Wolf et al, 2011), international research (Bhatia et al, 2017;Gulsuner et al, 2020;Ibrahim et al, 2015;Service et al, 2020;Swagerman et al, 2016;Vatss et al, 2012), even in space flight (Garrett-Bakelman et al, 2019). Importantly, numerous studies have examined neurocognitive phenotypes in schizophrenia using this battery (Aliyu et al, 2006;Gur et al, 2015;Hill et al, 2002;Irani et al, 2012), and therefore results could be compared to those obtained in other populations.…”

Objective: Large-scale studies have revolutionized biomedical research, and neurocognitive tests can help elucidate the biological basis of neuropsychiatric diseases. However, studies have predominantly been conducted in Western settings. We describe the development and validation of a computerized battery (PennCNB) with the Xhosa population of South Africa. Method: Individuals with schizophrenia (n = 525) and a normative comparison group (n = 744) were balanced on age, sex, education, and region. Participants provided blood samples, were assessed psychiatrically, and were administered a PennCNB translation to isiXhosa, including measures of executive functions, episodic memory, complex cognition, social cognition, and sensorimotor speed. Feasibility was examined with test completion rates and input from administrators, and psychometric structural validity and associations with clinical and demographic characteristics were examined. Results: Tests were well tolerated by participants, as >87% had one (or fewer) test missing. Results suggested a similar factor structure to prior PennCNB studies in Western contexts, and expected age and sex effects were apparent. Furthermore, a similar profile of schizophrenia was observed, with neurocognitive deficits most pronounced for executive functions, especially attention, as well as memory, social cognition, and motor speed relative to complex cognition and sensorimotor speed. Conclusions: Results support the feasibility of implementing a culturally adapted computerized neurocognitive battery in sub-Saharan African settings and provide evidence supporting the concurrent validity of the translated instrument. Thus, the PennCNB is implementable on a large scale in non-Western contexts, shows expected factor structure, and can detect cognitive deficits associated with neuropsychiatric disorders. Obtaining valid measures of cognition by nonspecialized proctors is especially suitable in resource-limited settings, where traditional testing is prohibitive. Future work should establish normative standards, test-retest reliability, and sensitivity to treatment.

“…Variations of the tests included in the PennCNB have been used extensively to identify neurocognitive deficits among pediatric populations (Gur et al, 2012; Hartung et al, 2016; Moore et al, 2015; Swagerman et al, 2016). The battery has been culturally adapted and translated into multiple languages (e.g., Izgi et al, 2021; Service et al, 2020), including Xhosa (a Bantu African language; Campbell et al, 2017; Scott et al, 2021). Moreover, the battery has been administered to samples of children and adults living with HIV (Scott et al, 2018).…”

“…For the ER40 task, three emotion subcategory scores are also created: positive (happy), negative (sad, anger, fear) and neutral. Test-retest validity of both tasks for Turkish was conducted by İzgi et al ( Izgi et al, 2022 ). Efficiency scores of tasks were calculated by dividing the number of correct response by the natural logarithm of the response time of correct answers.…”
