The aim of this study was to examine the concurrent validity of a newly developed computerized memory diagnostic system (MDS) with the Korean version of the Consortium to Establish a Registry for Alzheimer's Disease Assessment Packet (CERAD-K).
Subtests of the MDS and CERAD-K, including the auditory-verbal, visuo-spatial, and working memory tests, were administered to 43 adults aged 60 to 74 years. We calculated the correlations between the subtest scores of the MDS and CERAD-K to examine the concurrent validity of the MDS.
We found significant correlations between the subtest scores in the verbal-auditory memory, including immediate recall, delayed recall, and delayed recognition. The working memory subtest scores between the MDS and CERAD-K also showed a significant positive correlation.
We verified the concurrent validity of the memory subtests in the MDS for the elderly. The results of the present study suggest that the MDS could be a valuable tool for an efficient and valid assessment of memory function.
本研究旨在检验新开发的计算机化记忆诊断系统(MDS)与韩国版阿尔茨海默病注册协会评估包(CERAD-K)的同时效度。
对43名年龄在60至74岁的成年人进行了MDS和CERAD-K的子测试,包括听觉言语、视觉空间和工作记忆测试。我们计算了MDS和CERAD-K子测试分数之间的相关性,以检验MDS的同时效度。
我们发现言语听觉记忆子测试分数之间存在显著相关性,包括即时回忆、延迟回忆和延迟识别。MDS和CERAD-K之间的工作记忆子测试分数也显示出显著的正相关。
我们验证了MDS中记忆子测试对老年人的同时效度。本研究结果表明,MDS可能是一种有效评估记忆功能的有价值工具。
