We aimed to analyze the construct and concurrent validity of the Rapid Visual Information Processing (RVP), Paired Associates Learning (PAL), Reaction Time (RTI), and Spatial Working Memory (SWM) tests from the Cambridge Neuropsychological Test Automated Battery (CANTAB®). Inclusion criteria were checked in a first session. The CANTAB and additional pencil-and-paper tests were administered within 1 week. The participants (aged 69-96 years) were 137 Portuguese adults without neuropsychiatric diagnoses and 37 adults with mild-to-moderate Alzheimer's disease dementia. Comparisons were made between the CANTAB tests and between these tests and the Rey Complex Figure Test (RCFT), Verbal Fluency (VF) test, and some Wechsler Memory Scale-III and Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale-III subtests. Most intra-test correlations were stronger than the CANTAB inter-test correlations. The RVP correlated more with VF animals (.44), the PAL with RCFT immediate recall (-.52), the RTI with RVP mean latency (.42), and the SWM with Spatial Span backward (-.39).
我们旨在分析剑桥神经心理测试自动成套系统（CANTAB®）中的快速视觉信息处理（RVP）、配对联想学习（PAL）、反应时间（RTI）和空间工作记忆（SWM）测试的结构效度和同时效度。在第一次测试中检查纳入标准。CANTAB测试和其他纸笔测试在1周内进行。参与者为137名无神经精神疾病诊断的葡萄牙成年人（年龄在69至96岁之间）和37名患有轻度至中度阿尔茨海默病痴呆症的成年人。对CANTAB测试之间以及这些测试与雷氏复杂图形测验（RCFT）、语言流畅性（VF）测试以及韦氏记忆量表第三版和韦氏成人智力量表第三版的一些子测试之间进行了比较。大多数测试内相关性强于CANTAB测试间的相关性。RVP与VF动物项的相关性更高（.44），PAL与RCFT即时回忆的相关性为（-.52），RTI与RVP平均潜伏期的相关性为（.42），SWM与空间跨度倒序的相关性为（-.39）。
