The Brown Location Test (BLT) was developed to remedy some of the problems in existing visual-based memory tests. The hand version has demonstrated good psychometric properties, the ability to provide lateralization information for mesial temporal lobe epilepsy patients, and has normative data. The purpose of this study was to compare the hand administered format to the more recently developed computer administered format.
We used Generalizability Theory analyses to assess the degree of variability in scores across the hand and computer versions of the test, and across alternate test forms, A and B. We also compared the means and standard deviations for the different versions and forms using paired t-tests, and Pearson correlation coefficients.
There was minimal variability and high levels of score similarity across the various test administration formats and forms.
The high degree of comparability between versions allows one to apply the validity findings and normative data collected using the hand administered version to the computer version of the BLT.
开发布朗定位测试（BLT）是为了弥补现有基于视觉的记忆测试中的一些问题。手动版本已显示出良好的心理测量特性，能够为内侧颞叶癫痫患者提供定位信息，并且有常模数据。本研究的目的是将手动施测形式与最近开发的计算机施测形式进行比较。
我们使用概化理论分析来评估测试的手动版和计算机版之间以及替代测试形式A和B之间分数的变异程度。我们还使用配对t检验和皮尔逊相关系数比较了不同版本和形式的均值和标准差。
在各种测试施测形式和形式之间，变异极小且分数相似度很高。
不同版本之间的高度可比性使得人们可以将使用手动版收集的效度研究结果和常模数据应用于BLT的计算机版。
