背景：尽管执行功能(EF)被发现与认知功能恶化有关，但大多数用于评估EF的测试缺乏生态效度。目的：探讨虚拟行动计划超市(VAP-S)在轻度认知障碍诊断中的可行性和有效性。方法：比较30例MCI患者(平均年龄69.5岁)和30例健康老年人(平均年龄69.2岁)的VAP-S表现。结果：两组在VAP-S的大部分指标上均有显著差异。MMSE和轨迹持续时间的组合为组提供了最好的预测性分类。结论：MCI患者存在EF减退，VAP-S是评价MCI患者和健康老年人EF减退的有效工具。版权所有(C)2009年S.Karger AG，巴塞尔
Background: Although executive functioning (EF) was found to be associated with cognitive deterioration, the majority of the tests for assessing EF lack ecological validity. Aims: To examine the feasibility and the validity of the virtual action planning supermarket (VAP-S) for the diagnosis of patients with mild cognitive impairment (MCI). Methods: Thirty MCI patients (mean age = 69.5 years) were compared to 30 healthy elderly persons (mean age = 69.2 years) in their performance of the VAP-S. Results: Significant differences were found between the groups in the majority of the measures of the VAP-S. The combination of the MMSE and the trajectory duration provided the best predictive classification for the groups. Conclusion: MCI patients have EF deficits, and the VAP-S is a viable tool to assess EF deficits in patients with MCI and healthy elderly. Copyright (c) 2009 S. Karger AG, Basel
