The purpose of this study was to construct a Swedish version of the National Adult Reading Test (NART-SWE), a test for assessment of premorbid IQ, and to investigate its validity and reliability on healthy controls and patients with mild Alzheimer's disease. As Swedish pronunciation rules are fixed, NART-SWE was constructed using loan words. NART-SWE has satisfactory psychometric properties: Inter-rater and retest reliability as well as internal consistency are very high. The NART-SWE demonstrates face validity. In addition, high correlation with IQ was obtained. A significant model emerged when using NART-SWE to predict IQ. Furthermore, no significant differences were observed when comparing performance for healthy controls' with that of patients with Alzheimer's disease on NART-SWE. It does appear that reading of irregular words is intact in mild Alzheimer's disease.
本研究的目的是构建瑞典版成人国家阅读测试(NART-SWE),这是一种用于评估病前智商的测试,并调查其在健康对照者和轻度阿尔茨海默病患者中的有效性和可靠性。由于瑞典语发音规则是固定的,NART-SWE使用外来词构建。NART-SWE具有令人满意的心理测量特性:评分者间信度、重测信度以及内部一致性都非常高。NART-SWE具有表面效度。此外,与智商有高度相关性。使用NART-SWE预测智商时出现了一个显著模型。此外,在NART-SWE上比较健康对照者和阿尔茨海默病患者的表现时,未观察到显著差异。轻度阿尔茨海默病患者对不规则单词的阅读似乎未受影响。
