Automated Neuropsychological Assessment Metrics Version 4 (ANAM4): Examination of Select Psychometric Properties and Administration Procedures
Abstract
The ability to accurately and efficiently monitor the neurocognitive status of U.S. warfighters under diverse operational and experimental conditions is of critical importance to the ongoing mission and network-centered initiatives 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 diverse military operational and research testing scenarios. The primary objective of this multi-study project is to examine select psychometric properties and administration procedures of the newly released ANAM4. The project includes four studies that will do the following: (1) examine common use practices and determine the effect of specific administration procedures on ANAM4 performance; (2) assess the test-retest reliability of individual ANAM4 tests; (3) examine the validity of the ANAM4 mood scale; and (4) develop an adverse, representative military normative data set. The authors are currently in the data collection phase for Studies 1-3.
