“…These correlations (False Alarms and Total) are higher than those reported for the computer version of ®nger tapping developed by Tanner and Bowles (1995), whose correlations did not exceed .65. They are lower, however, than the .90 correlation reported for the computer Category Test (Choca & Morris, 1992).…”

“…For example, a computerized version of the Halstead±Reitan Category Test is one of the more thoroughly examined. In addition to no mean differences and a correlation of .90 in clinical samples (Berger, Chibnall, & Gfeller, 1994;Choca & Morris, 1992), the versions were compared in a clinical sample using factor analytic techniques (Berger, Chibnall, & Gfeller, 1997). The two formats were generally found to be equivalent, although examinees made more errors on one subtest of the computer format (Berger et al, 1994;Mercer, Harrel, Miller, Childs, & Rockers, 1997).…”

The Continuous Visual Memory Test (CVMT) is a continuous design recognition test designed for the assessment of visual memory for clinical and research applications. Comparisons were made between the traditional and a computer-assisted format of the CVMT using 51 university students. Formats were compared on five CVMT dependent measures, concurrent validity, split-half reliability, and selected dependent measures from the California Verbal Learning Test (CVLT). Participants scored higher on the computer format dependent measures, with the exception of false alarms (new items incorrectly identified as old), which remained comparable between formats. Adequate concurrent validity (r =.70) and split-half reliability (rs =.61-.70) were demonstrated for CVMT Total Score. Restriction of range and ceiling effects precluded reliability and validity conclusions for CVMT Delay. The computer format showed a nonsignificant trend towards lower correlations with CVLT dependent measures.

“…This computerized version of the Category Test demonstrated an acceptable level of equivalence with the original version of the Category Test. 25 Two additional computerized Category Test versions have been developed, 26,27 both of which were found to be essentially equivalent to the original. 28 The Wisconsin Card Sorting Test 29 has also been identified as one of the most widely used neuropsychological tests, 30 and there are numerous commercial computerized versions of the WCST 31 currently in use.…”

Objectives: To present current applications of computer-based neuropsychological assessment, including the assessment of sports-related concussion, symptom validity testing, and the remote administration of tests through the Internet. Problem areas: If computer-based assessment benefits are to become popularized, a few issues will need to be addressed: the development of psychometric data based on comparisons with long-standing empirically sound test measures; additional validation of measures by parties not involved in their commercial development; increased focus on ecological validity; exploration of the usefulness of remote data storage and automated posting to databases; and improved documentation of specific computer hardware and software used in experimental methods. Conclusions: Beyond ease of administration and data collection, computer-based assessment offers benefits over paper-and-pencil measures in the form of millisecond timing accuracy, reliable and randomized presentation of stimuli over multiple trials and repeat administrations, and unobtrusive measurement of cognitive skills and response times during all aspects of the assessment process.

“…Research relating to such adaptations have included personality inventories (Pinsoneault, 1996;Rasulis, Schuldberg, & Murtagh, 1996;Watson, Thomas, & Anderson, 1992), intelligence measures (Elwood & Clark, 1978;Katz & Dalby, 1981;Kubinger et al, 1991), problem checklists and scales of self-concept (Hinkle, Sampson, & Radonsky, 1991;Simola & Holden, 1992), career and aptitude instruments (Harrell et aI., 1987;Reardon & Loughead, 1988;Vansickle & Kapes, 1993), and neuropsychological instruments (Berger, Chibnall, & Gfeller, 1994Choca & Morris, 1992), to name a few. It should again be noted that the definition as to what constitutes equivalence varies from study to study.…”

The use of computerized psychological assessment is a growing practice among contemporary mental health professionals. Many popular and frequently used paper-and-pencil instruments have been adapted into computerized versions. Although equivalence for many instruments has been evaluated and supported, this issue is far from resolved, This literature review deals with recent research findings that suggest that computer aversion negatively impacts computerized assessment, particularly as it relates to measures of negative affect. There is a dearth of equivalence studies that take into account computer aversion's potential impact on the measurement of negative affect. Recommendations are offered for future research in this area.
