Summary
A new web-based neurocognitive assessment battery shows good usability and acceptability across diverse age groups. This platform can improve remote psychological assessment and data-informed interventions for a broader population.
Area of Science:
- Neuroscience
- Psychology
- Digital Health
Background:
- Growing interest in remote psychological assessments for improved accessibility.
- Remote platforms enable monitoring of health metrics for patient-centered treatment.
Purpose of the Study:
- Report properties and usability of a novel web-based neurocognitive assessment battery.
- Present normative data for future research and clinical applications.
Main Methods:
- 781 participants completed 8 neurocognitive tasks (auditory processing, working memory, learning, flexibility, emotional processing).
- A subset of 195 participants rated task acceptability via a 5-question survey.
Main Results:
- Younger individuals generally outperformed older individuals across tasks.
- The majority of participants found tasks engaging and understandable, even older adults.
- Tasks demonstrated wide acceptability among users.
Conclusions:
- Web-based neurocognitive tasks are acceptable and usable.
- These tools can enhance the deployment of data-informed interventions to a wider population.
