The LOTCA (Loewenstein Occupational Therapy Cognitive Assessment) battery is a cognitive screening test which is widely used in occupational health. However, no work has been found that explores its use in addiction treatment.
To explore the convergent validity of LOTCA with neuropsychological tests that assess related cerebral functional areas.
The LOTCA, along with a battery of neuropsychological tests, was administered to a sample of 48 subjects who start a treatment by substance or gambling addictions.
A correlational pattern was observed of a considerable magnitude between the effects of the LOTCA scales and those of some neuropsychological tests, but not with others. There is barely any convergence in measures with memory and executive function tests.
There is a lack of research applying test of occupational assessment to populations of patients treated by addictive behaviors. The LOTCA seems to be a reliable and valid test for preliminary screening of function in certain cognitive areas, easy, and quick to use (around 30 minutes). However, it must be supplemented with other tests for a full and ecological assessment of patients.
An incident, small-size sample.
New studies are needed to explore the applicability, diagnostic validity, and whole psychometric quality of the test in addiction-related treatment.
洛温斯坦认知作业疗法认知评估（LOTCA）量表是一种认知筛查测试，在职业健康领域广泛应用。然而，尚未发现有研究探讨其在成瘾治疗中的应用。
探讨LOTCA与评估相关脑功能区域的神经心理学测试的收敛效度。
对48名开始接受物质成瘾或赌博成瘾治疗的受试者样本进行LOTCA测试以及一系列神经心理学测试。
观察到LOTCA量表与部分神经心理学测试结果之间存在相当程度的相关模式，但与其他测试结果无相关性。在记忆和执行功能测试的测量中几乎没有收敛性。
缺乏将职业评估测试应用于成瘾行为治疗患者群体的研究。LOTCA似乎是一种用于某些认知领域功能初步筛查的可靠且有效的测试，使用简便快捷（约30分钟）。然而，必须辅以其他测试以对患者进行全面和生态化评估。
样本为偶然选取且规模较小。
需要开展新的研究以探索该测试在成瘾相关治疗中的适用性、诊断效度和整体心理测量质量。
