This study introduces a special series on validity studies of the Cognition Battery (CB) from the U.S. National Institutes of Health Toolbox for the Assessment of Neurological and Behavioral Function (NIHTB) (Gershon, Wagster et al., 2013) in an adult sample. This first study in the series describes the sample, each of the seven instruments in the NIHTB-CB briefly, and the general approach to data analysis. Data are provided on test-retest reliability and practice effects, and raw scores (mean, standard deviation, range) are presented for each instrument and the gold standard instruments used to measure construct validity. Accompanying papers provide details on each instrument, including information about instrument development, psychometric properties, age and education effects on performance, and convergent and discriminant construct validity. One study in the series is devoted to a factor analysis of the NIHTB-CB in adults and another describes the psychometric properties of three composite scores derived from the individual measures representing fluid and crystallized abilities and their combination. The NIHTB-CB is designed to provide a brief, comprehensive, common set of measures to allow comparisons among disparate studies and to improve scientific communication.
本研究介绍了美国国立卫生研究院神经和行为功能评估工具箱（NIHTB）（Gershon、Wagster等人，2013年）认知电池（CB）有效性研究的一个特别系列，该系列针对成年样本。该系列的第一项研究描述了样本、NIHTB-CB中的七种工具中的每一种，并简要介绍了数据分析的一般方法。提供了重测信度和练习效应的数据，并给出了每种工具以及用于测量结构效度的金标准工具的原始分数（均值、标准差、范围）。随附论文提供了每种工具的详细信息，包括工具开发、心理测量特性、年龄和教育程度对表现的影响，以及收敛和区分结构效度的信息。该系列中的一项研究致力于对成人NIHTB-CB进行因素分析，另一项研究描述了从代表流体和晶体能力及其组合的个体测量中得出的三个综合分数的心理测量特性。NIHTB-CB旨在提供一套简短、全面、通用的测量方法，以便在不同研究之间进行比较，并改善科学交流。
