Neurocognitive change over the course of a multiday external lumbar drain trial in patients with suspected normal pressure hydrocephalus
Conclusions: Findings suggest that cognitive improvement associated with a multiday ELD trial can be sufficiently captured with bedside neurocognitive testing. These findings support the utility of neuropsychological consultation, along with balance assessment, in informing clinical decision-making regarding responsiveness to temporary CSF diversion for patients undergoing elective NPH evaluation. Implications for the understanding of neuroanatomical and cognitive underpinnings of NPH are discussed.PMID:38360560 | DOI:10.1080/13854046.2024.2315737 (Source: The Clinical Neuropsychologist)

Phenocopy behavioral variant frontotemporal dementia: A case study
Conclusions: This case illustrates the importance of monitoring individuals over time and incorporating neuroimaging data into the diagnosis.

Norms, convergent validity, test-retest reliability, and practice effects for verbal fluency overall performance, clustering, and switching in Spanish-speaking children

Test-retest reliability and reliable change index of the Philips IntelliSpace Cognition digital test battery
CONCLUSIONS: RCIs for the digital tests enable clinicians to determine whether a measured change between assessments is due to real improvement or decline. Together, this contributes to the growing evidence for the clinical utility of the ISC platform.PMID:38360593 | DOI:10.1080/13854046.2024.2315747 (Source: The Clinical Neuropsychologist)

Comparing embedded performance validity indicators within the WAIS-IV Letter-Number sequencing subtest to Reliable Digit Span among adults referred for evaluation of attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder
Conclusions: Findings provide preliminary evidence for the criterion and construct validity of LNS as an embedded validity indicator in ADHD evaluations. Practitioners are encouraged to use LNS T-score cutoff of ≤33 or ≤36 to assess the validity of obtained test data. Employing either of these LNS cutoffs with RDS may enhance the detection of invalid performance.PMID:38351710 | DOI:10.1080/13854046.2024.2315738 (Source: The Clinical Neuropsychologist)

The prevalence and correlates of scores falling below ImPACT embedded validity indicators among adolescent student athletes
Conclusions: The base rate of invalid performance on ImPACT's EVIs was approximately 7%, consistent with prior research. Adolescents self-reporting neurodevelopmental conditions, academic difficulties, or a history of treatment for medical conditions obtained invalid baseline tests at higher frequencies. More research is needed to better understand invalid scores in youth with pre-existing conditions.PMID:38233364 | DOI:10.1080/13854046.2023.2287777 (Source: The Clinical Neuropsychologist)
