“…These results support previous suggestions that neuropsychological assessment is better at predicting specific behaviors as compared with global outcome measures (McCue, 1997). Global outcome measures collate scores across different behaviors and therefore do not reflect a person's strengths and weaknesses in specific behaviors (Acker, 1990; Bach, 1993; McCue, 1997). For instance, a global outcome score would not differentiate between people who have difficulty remembering to pay their bills and people who spend impulsively.…”

“…The results of the current study were consistent with the growing evidence that neuropsychological assessment can predict performance of cognitively demanding everyday tasks but is a poor predictor of performance on well-learned tasks, such as self-care and driving (Crowe et al, 2004; Marson et al, 1995; McCue, 1997; Nestor et al, 1999). For example, Crowe and colleagues (2004) found that neuropsychological assessment predicted up to 90% of variance in the ability to use an ATM in an ABD population, with consistent associations between ATM use and neuropsychological measures, both as single predictors and in combination.…”

“…In previous research, prediction of specific everyday tasks using conventional neuropsychological measures has also been more successful than prediction of global outcomes (McCue, 1997). A global outcome such as return to work does not take into account the abilities required for specific occupations (Bach, 1993).…”

To study the money management ability of people with acquired brain dysfunction (ABD) and its relationship to neuropsychological test performance. Subjects or Other Participants: 35 people with ABD and 15 matched controls without ABD. Main Outcome Measures: Case managers completed an experimenter-designed Money Management Survey (MMS), a staff-rating measure of the client's money management abilities. Results: In addition to the problems identified by controls, the group with ABD had other difficulties such as not leaving money aside for essentials and using automatic teller machines. Neuropsychological assessment demonstrated a modest ability to predict the overall MMS, however, the prediction of specific behaviors (problematic impulsive spending and paying the bills or rent late) was more successful. Conclusion: These results provide support for the use of the MMS and indicate that people with ABD have greater problems with specific aspects of money management than do controls.

“…The view of harm potential described here is consistent with a capacity-risk model, which rests on a functional evaluation of what the client is actually doing in particular situations in light of the unique demands in his environment (McCue, 1997 ). The capacity-risk model guides the clinician through a diffi cult decisionmaking process.…”

This report reviews the state of the literature and opportunities for research related to the cognitive correlates of functional status. The prediction of functional capacity on the basis of cognitive test performance is an important aspect of neuropsychological assessment. Moreover, functional impairment or "disability" is an essential part of dementia case finding. Nevertheless, relatively little attention has been given to the empirical study of the specific cognitive correlates of functional outcomes. What literature is available suggests that 1) the variance in functional status that can be specifically attributed to cognition is surprisingly modest; 2) some cognitive domains may be more relevant to functional capacity than others; 3) some measures of executive control function are relatively strong correlates of functional capacities, particularly medical or financial decision-making; and 4) "general" cognitive screening tests are surprisingly strong correlates of functional status. These findings are of particular significance to dementia case finding, epidemiology, and treatment. The extensive literature on functional status has yet to be integrated with the equally extensive literature on cognitive assessment. Better integration of cognitive and functional assessments would offer greater clinical utility. However, psychometric batteries may have to be redesigned to maximize their capacity to capture the variance in functional outcomes.
