认知是NIH神经和行为功能评估工具箱(NIH-TB)测量的四个领域中的一个，并补充了测试运动功能、感觉和情绪的模块。在专家小组的基础上，被确定为对健康、在学校和工作中的成功以及日常功能的独立性最重要的认知亚域是执行功能、情景记忆、语言、加工速度、工作记忆和注意力。设计了七项措施来挖掘这些子域中的结构。在476名年龄从3岁到85岁不等的参与者中，性别、3个种族/民族类别和3个教育水平的代表参加了这些工具的英文验证。这份报告描述了认知成套测验的发展，并介绍了重测信度、年龄对绩效的影响以及收敛和区分结构效度的结果。NIH-TB认知组合旨在作为一套简单、方便的措施，在流行病学和纵向研究以及临床试验中补充其他结果衡量标准。这种电池具有计算机化的格式和国家标准化，将在研究人员之间提供一种“通用货币”，用于在广泛的研究和人群中进行比较。神经病学(R)2013；80(增刊3)：S54-S64
Cognition is 1 of 4 domains measured by the NIH Toolbox for the Assessment of Neurological and Behavioral Function (NIH-TB), and complements modules testing motor function, sensation, and emotion. On the basis of expert panels, the cognition subdomains identified as most important for health, success in school and work, and independence in daily functioning were Executive Function, Episodic Memory, Language, Processing Speed, Working Memory, and Attention. Seven measures were designed to tap constructs within these subdomains. The instruments were validated in English, in a sample of 476 participants ranging in age from 3 to 85 years, with representation from both sexes, 3 racial/ethnic categories, and 3 levels of education. This report describes the development of the Cognition Battery and presents results on test-retest reliability, age effects on performance, and convergent and discriminant construct validity. The NIH-TB Cognition Battery is intended to serve as a brief, convenient set of measures to supplement other outcome measures in epidemiologic and longitudinal research and clinical trials. With a computerized format and national standardization, this battery will provide a "common currency" among researchers for comparisons across a wide range of studies and populations.
