Neuropsychological testing has traditionally been performed on site using standardized paper-pencil tests. Online platforms now offer the potential of conducting such testing at home but requires validation before widespread use. In this pilot study with healthy adults, we examine the convergent validity of the newly developed test battery Mindmore Remote.
Fifty-two healthy participants were tested using both Mindmore Remote at home and traditional neuropsychological testing on site. The order of presentation was randomized. Associations between test performance on the two batteries were compared using Pearson and Spearman correlations.
Results revealed significant correlations between all Mindmore Remote tests and traditional tests. Verbal tests showed stronger correlations (r = .71-.83) than non-verbal tests (r = .48-.71). Further, correlations were stronger for users who made responses using a computer mouse than for touchpad users.
Mindmore Remote tests that rely on verbal in- and output were comparable to traditional face-to-face neuropsychological tests. However, although promising, further validation is needed for tests that require visuo-motor interaction. In comparison with similar studies, the results indicate that test modification, rather than remote administration, is accountable for weaker correlations.
传统上，神经心理学测试是在现场使用标准化纸笔测试进行的。在线平台现在提供了在家中进行此类测试的可能性，但在广泛使用之前需要进行验证。在这项针对健康成年人的试点研究中，我们检验了新开发的测试组合Mindmore Remote的收敛效度。
52名健康参与者在家中使用Mindmore Remote进行测试，并在现场进行传统神经心理学测试。测试呈现顺序是随机的。使用Pearson和Spearman相关性比较两个测试组合的测试表现之间的关联。
结果显示，所有Mindmore Remote测试与传统测试之间均存在显著相关性。言语测试的相关性（r = 0.71 - 0.83）比非言语测试（r = 0.48 - 0.71）更强。此外，使用电脑鼠标做出反应的用户的相关性比使用触摸板的用户更强。
依赖言语输入和输出的Mindmore Remote测试与传统面对面神经心理学测试相当。然而，尽管前景乐观，但对于需要视觉运动交互的测试仍需要进一步验证。与类似研究相比，结果表明相关性较弱是由于测试修改而非远程管理所致。
