Abstract

Objective: The Repeatable Battery for the Assessment of Neuropsychological Status (RBANS) is a widely used measure in neuropsychological assessment. Studies of practice effects on the RBANS have typically been assessed over one or two repeated assessments. The aim of the current study is to examine practice effects across four-years after baseline in a longitudinal study of cognitively healthy older adults.

Method: 453 Participants from the Louisiana Aging Brain Study (LABrainS) completed the RBANS Form A on up to four annual assessments after baseline. Practice effects were calculated using a modified participants-replacement method where scores of returnees are compared to the baseline scores of matched participants with additional adjustment for attrition effects.

Results: Practice effects were observed primarily in the immediate memory, delayed memory, and total score indices. These index scores continued to increase with repeated assessments.

Conclusions: These findings extend past work on the RBANS showing the susceptibility of memory measures to practice effects. Given that memory and total score indices of the RBANS have the most robust relationships with pathological cognitive decline, these findings raise concerns about the ability to recruit those at risk for decline from longitudinal studies using the same form of the RBANS for multiple years.

在一项针对老年人的纵向研究中,四年实践对 RBANS 的影响。
目的:神经心理状态评估可重复电池(RBANS)是神经心理评估中广泛使用的一种测量方法。有关 RBANS 的练习效果的研究通常是通过一次或两次重复评估进行的。本研究的目的是在对认知健康的老年人进行的一项纵向研究中,考察基线后四年内的练习效果:方法:路易斯安那州老年脑研究(LABrainS)的 453 名参与者在基线后的四次年度评估中完成了 RBANS 表格 A。实践效果的计算采用了修改后的参与者替代法,即把回归者的分数与匹配参与者的基线分数进行比较,并对自然减员效应进行额外调整:结果:练习效果主要体现在即时记忆、延迟记忆和总分指数上。这些指数得分随着重复评估而持续增加:这些研究结果扩展了过去在 RBANS 方面的研究,表明记忆测量容易受到练习效应的影响。鉴于RBANS的记忆和总分指数与病理认知能力衰退的关系最为密切,这些研究结果引起了人们的关注,即在使用相同形式的RBANS进行多年纵向研究时,是否有能力招募到那些有衰退风险的人。

期刊介绍: pplied Neuropsychology-Adult publishes clinical neuropsychological articles concerning assessment, brain functioning and neuroimaging, neuropsychological treatment, and rehabilitation in adults. Full-length articles and brief communications are included. Case studies of adult patients carefully assessing the nature, course, or treatment of clinical neuropsychological dysfunctions in the context of scientific literature, are suitable. Review manuscripts addressing critical issues are encouraged. Preference is given to papers of clinical relevance to others in the field. All submitted manuscripts are subject to initial appraisal by the Editor-in-Chief, and, if found suitable for further considerations are peer reviewed by independent, anonymous expert referees. All peer review is single-blind and submission is online via ScholarOne Manuscripts.
