Automated Neuropsychological Assessment Metrics, Version 4 (ANAM4): Examination of Select Psychometric Properties and Administration Procedures
Abstract
The ability to accurately and efficiently evaluate neurocognitive status of US Warfighters exposed to diverse operational and experimental conditions is of critical importance to the ongoing mission and Force 2025 objectives of the United States military. The Automated Neuropsychological Assessment Metrics (ANAM) is a computer assisted tool for evaluating neurocognitive performance with demonstrated effectiveness for application in a wide range of military operational and research testing scenarios. The primary objective of this project is to examine select psychometric and administration properties of the ANAM4. Four studies were proposed as part of the original effort: 1) examine common use practices and determine the effect of specific administration procedures on ANAM4 performance; 2) assess the test-retest reliability and practice effects of individual ANAM4 test modules; 3) examine the validity of the ANAM4 Mood Scale, and 4) establish a representative normative dataset of ANAM4 performance outcomes specifically for use with Army National Guard service members.
