Marrying Past and Present Neuropsychology: Is the Future of the Process-Based Approach Technology-Based?

摘要: A cognitive assessment strategy that is not limited to examining a set of summary test scores may be more helpful for early detection emergent illness such as Alzheimer's disease (AD) and permit better understanding functions dysfunctions in those with AD other dementia disorders. revisit the work already undertaken by Kaplan colleagues using Boston Process-Approach provides solid basis identifying new opportunities capture data on neurocognitive processes, test-taking strategies response styles. Thus, this critical review will combine traditional process-based support provided or offered newer technologies have potential add value collection interpretation. There now considerable interest neuropsychological administration computer/digital technology, both research clinical settings. To value, any computerized version an existing should respect procedure which normative were obtained, time-saving terms scoring interpretation, should, we argue, facilitate gathering information about processes followed completion. This article offer overview steps needed when implementing computerization tests Process-Based Approach (PBA) these technology-based adaptations discuss further developments area linking it future technological possible assessment. Additionally, benefit from presented, together suggestions specific features captured aid computerization. Finally, hypotheses how virtual reality could asset PBA also discussed.
