Psychomotor function is a key construct in depressed patients and two measures have been developed for systematic rating. Parker and colleagues utilise an observer-rated scale (CORE) while the scale (DRRS) developed by Widlöcher assesses motor and ideational aspects. Association between the scales and their relative capacity to predict ECT response were investigated in a sample of 81 depressed patients. Both predicted ECT response. While the CORE scale rates a wider variety of phenomena (including non-interactiveness and agitation) and does not rely on the subject's capacity to report aspects of their cognitive function, the study supports the predictive and comparitive validity of both scales.
精神运动功能是抑郁症患者的一个关键指标，目前已开发出两种测量方法用于系统评估。帕克及其同事使用了一种由观察者评定的量表（CORE），而维德洛彻开发的量表（DRRS）则评估运动和思维方面。在81名抑郁症患者样本中，研究了这两种量表之间的关联及其预测ECT反应的相对能力。两者都能预测ECT反应。虽然CORE量表对更多种现象进行评分（包括缺乏互动和激动），且不依赖受试者报告其认知功能方面的能力，但该研究支持这两种量表的预测效度和比较效度。
