“…The normative data presented here are consistent with the literature on the audiocassette version of the PASAT (Brittain, La Marche, Reeder, Roth, & Boll, 1991;Roman, Edwall, Buchanan, & Patton, 1991;Stuss, Stethem, & Poirier, 1987), indicating that gender has no or no clinically meaningful effects on PASAT performance. Although the tape and the computerbased versions of the PASAT are different with respect to mode of presentation, participants' performance for each of the four rates of presentation appears similar when comparing the computerized PASAT to published normative data for audiotape versions (Stuss, Stethem, & Pelchat, 1988;Stuss, Stethem, & Poirier, 1987).…”

Computerized testing has increased in popularity over the past two decades. The present study examined properties of the computerized version of the Paced Auditory Serial Addition Task (PASAT). The PASAT was administered to 168 college students ages 17 to 48 years with no history of neurological or emotional problems. Analysis of variance showed no significant effects of gender or age. With increasing rate of presentation, participants gave fewer correct responses. The number of errors decreased rather than increased across PASAT trials, reflecting participants' tendency to "skip" items. Additional normative data are presented. Performance on the computerized PASAT appears similar to published norms on the PASAT version presented via audiocassette. It is suggested that the computerized and audiocassette versions of the PASAT may be used as alternate forms in well-educated adults.

“…Com relação ao PA S AT, não observamos diferenças significantes no teste de 3 segundos, porém no teste de 2 segundos observamos melhor desempenho dos indivíduos de sexo masculino e naqueles com maior escolaridade, embora autores atribuam a correlação deste teste ao QI dos pacientes 21 é bem demonstrada a interferência da escolaridade no desempenho final 17 .…”

A Multiple Sclerosis Functional Composite Measure (MSFC) é escala para avaliação dos pacientes portadores de esclerose múltipla, desenvolvida pela National Multiple Sclerosis Society dos EUA em 1994, que envolve uma composição de três testes - 9-Hole Peg Test, Timed 25-Foot Walk e PASAT - abrangendo de maneira multidimensional as principais funções neurológicas comprometidas nestes pacientes. A MSFC foi aplicada em 91 indivíduos sadios com o objetivo de padronizá-la na população brasileira para posterior uso nos diversos centros de tratamento e pesquisa no Brasil.

“…Processing speed tasks included the oral version of the Symbol Digit Modalities Test (SDMT) [38], Trail-Making Test (TMT) A and B [39]. Letter and Symbol Cancellation Tasks [40], and Paced Auditory and Serial Addition Task (PASAT) [41]. General intelligence was assessed with the Wide Range Achievement Test 3, Reading Subtest [42] (WRAT-3) and Matrix reasoning [43] (WAIS-III).…”
