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 US 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 project is to examine select psychometric and administration properties of the newly-released ANAM4. Four studies are proposed that will: (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 a representative military normative dataset. The data collection for Study 1 is complete and nearing completion for Studies, 2&3, with data analyses in progress. Study 4 is in the planning phase.
