Cross-cultural adaption of the computerized assessment of information processing battery (COGNITO) for an Indian longitudinal study on rural elderly.
Introduction: Testing cognitive functions in Indians with low literacy and linguistic diversity is challenging. We describe the adaptation process of a comprehensive neurocognitive test battery to suit both literate and illiterate aging rural Indians.
Methods: Following the International Test Commission (ITC) guidelines for cross-cultural adaptation, we adapted the COGNITO battery. This involved translating instructions, linguistic elements, and stimuli of each test from the original English version with the help of bilingual experts. Five stimuli across eight subtests were adapted to maintain construct equivalence and cultural relevance.
Results: The Kannada version of COGNITO, a digitally administered tool, was feasible and effective measure for assessing cognitive functions in Kannada-speaking aging individuals from a rural Indian population.
Discussion: We emphasize the importance of maintaining semantic and theoretical construct equivalence with the source tool, and ensuring cultural and socioeconomic congruence for the cross-cultural adaptation of computerized cognitive batteries.
Highlights: Assessed cognitive functions in rural elderly with low literacy and high linguistic diversity.Followed International Test Commission (ITC) guidelines for cross-cultural adaptation to suit literate and illiterate aging rural Indians.Maintained semantic and theoretical construct equivalence with the source tool, ensuring cultural and socioeconomic congruence for cross-cultural adaptation of cognitive batteries.
期刊介绍:
Alzheimer''s & Dementia: Diagnosis, Assessment & Disease Monitoring (DADM) is an open access, peer-reviewed, journal from the Alzheimer''s Association® that will publish new research that reports the discovery, development and validation of instruments, technologies, algorithms, and innovative processes. Papers will cover a range of topics interested in the early and accurate detection of individuals with memory complaints and/or among asymptomatic individuals at elevated risk for various forms of memory disorders. The expectation for published papers will be to translate fundamental knowledge about the neurobiology of the disease into practical reports that describe both the conceptual and methodological aspects of the submitted scientific inquiry. Published topics will explore the development of biomarkers, surrogate markers, and conceptual/methodological challenges. Publication priority will be given to papers that 1) describe putative surrogate markers that accurately track disease progression, 2) biomarkers that fulfill international regulatory requirements, 3) reports from large, well-characterized population-based cohorts that comprise the heterogeneity and diversity of asymptomatic individuals and 4) algorithmic development that considers multi-marker arrays (e.g., integrated-omics, genetics, biofluids, imaging, etc.) and advanced computational analytics and technologies.
