Utilization Rates of Computerized Tests and Test Batteries Among Clinical Neuropsychologists in the United States and Canada.
Recent acceleration in development of computerized neuropsychological tests and test batteries has led to gains in sophistication, intuitiveness, and capability with concomitant opportunities for greater adoption among practitioners.

Advantages attributed to computerized methods (e.g., standardization, large-scale screening, measurement of performance attributes inaccessible by traditional means) enhance prospects for growth. Despite technological improvement and potential benefit to neuropsychological assessment, the regularity with which neuropsychologists utilize computer-based methods remains unsettled. As part of a 10-year follow-up study of neuropsychological test usage practices, we surveyed neuropsychologists' utilization of computerized instruments and investigated practice-related factors that influence computerized test adoption. Respondents were 512 doctorate-level psychologists residing in the United States and Canada (26% usable response rate; 54% female) affiliated with the National Academy of Neuropsychology or the International Neuropsychological Society. Of the 693 distinct instruments reported by respondents, only 6% (n = 40) were computerized, and the average respondent reported rarely using computerized tests. We present the top-ranked computerized instruments and results of correlational analyses, which indicate that fewer years practicing and the youth of respondents associates with increased likelihood of computerized test utilization, along with increased utilization of neuropsychological tests with alternative or parallel forms. Implications for existing and emerging technologies in research and clinical settings are considered. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: Article src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: N holdings: @attributes: islocal: N |
