The objective of this study was to examine the relationship between the Bicycle Drawing Task and a number of neuropsychological variables, including the Repeatable Battery for the Assessment of Neuropsychological Status, in a heterogeneous group of older adults referred for a dementia evaluation. The sample consisted of 91 participants with a mean age of 77.0 yr. (SD = 6.4). The correlations between scores on the Bicycle Drawing Task and the Repeatable Battery for the Assessment of Neuropsychological Status and supplemental cognitive measures were generally in the moderate range. The Bicycle Drawing Task was not significantly related to premorbid IQ or education. As a neuropsychological measure, the task is brief, easily explained, easily scored, and well-tolerated by patients. Results suggest the Bicycle Drawing Task may be a useful screening procedure for cognitive impairment that is not significantly related to education or premorbid ability.
本研究旨在探讨自行车绘图任务与一系列神经心理学变量之间的关系，这些变量包括重复性认知评估电池，在一组接受痴呆评估的老年患者中。样本包括 91 名平均年龄为 77.0 岁的参与者（SD=6.4）。自行车绘图任务得分与重复性认知评估电池和补充认知测量之间的相关性通常处于中等范围。自行车绘图任务与发病前智商或教育程度无显著相关性。作为一种神经心理学测量方法，该任务具有简明、易于解释、易于评分和患者耐受性好等特点。结果表明，自行车绘图任务可能是一种有用的认知障碍筛查程序，与教育或发病前能力无显著关系。
