标记测验是由DeRenzi和Vignolo（1962）提出的，旨在提供一种灵敏而具体的听觉理解测量方法。然而，许多非语言因素在决定考试成绩方面也很重要。我们评估了根据国家神经和交流障碍和中风研究所阿尔茨海默病及相关疾病协会标准分类为“可能的阿尔茨海默病”的患者的令牌测试性能。我们使用了令牌测试的简短版本，即简易精神状态检查（MMSE，一种全球认知完整性的指标），以及一系列旨在测量许多特定神经心理功能的测试。我们发现，这个版本的令牌测试与简单的听觉语言理解的测量相关性很弱，但与MMSE高度相关。在项目分析的基础上，我们认为痴呆患者在标记测验中表现不佳主要是由于持续性而不是由于听觉-视觉障碍。
The Token Test was introduced by DeRenzi and Vignolo (1962) with the intent of providing a sensitive and specific measure of auditory comprehension. Nevertheless, many nonlinguistic factors are also important in determining test performance. We assessed Token Test performance in patients classified as “probable Alzheimer's disease” according to National Institute of Neurological and Communicative Disorders and Stroke‐Alzheimer's Disease and Related Disorders Association criteria. We used a short version of the Token Test, the Mini‐Mental State Examination (MMSE, an indicator of global cognitive integrity), and a battery of tests designed to measure many specific neuropsychological functions. We show that this version of the Token Test correlates weakly with a measure of simple auditory‐verbal comprehension but highly with the MMSE. On the basis of an item analysis, it is suggested that demented patients do poorly on the Token Test mainly due to perseveration rather than due to difficulty with auditory‐ver...
