Psychometric Evaluation of the Mindstreams Neuropsychological Screening Tool

Abstract

This study explored the psychometric properties of the Mindstreams neuropsychological assessment. Twenty-one subjects completed baseline measures as well as three postdive assessments, each occurring after dives of 130, 150, and 190 feet of Seawater (Fow). Results demonstrated good coefficients of stability and equivalence. Little learning effect was demonstrated over three assessments. More work on clinical use of the measure for cognitive changes due to cerebral decompression illness needs to be completed. Mainstreams does appear to be an Option for neuropsychological screening when evaluation of cognitive functioning is necessary.
