Abstract

The degree of practice effects with the Brief NIMH Neuropsychological Battery for HIV Infection and AIDS is reported using a 7-10 day test-retest interval. The patient groups were asymptomatic and symptomatic of HIV while the control group was made up of "at risk" volunteers. Statistically significant practice effects were obtained on the California Verbal Learning Test, the Paced Auditory Serial Addition Task and the Visual Search Test among the infected individuals. The controls subjects demonstrated statistically significant practice effects on all of the neuropsychological tests. The implications of these findings in prospective studies are discussed.

摘要

使用7 - 10天的重测间隔报告了简明国家心理健康研究所（NIMH）艾滋病毒感染和艾滋病神经心理成套测验的练习效应程度。患者组包括无症状和有症状的艾滋病毒感染者，而对照组由“有风险”的志愿者组成。在受感染个体中，加利福尼亚言语学习测验、听觉序列加法任务和视觉搜索测验获得了具有统计学意义的练习效应。对照组受试者在所有神经心理测验中均表现出具有统计学意义的练习效应。讨论了这些发现在前瞻性研究中的意义。
