“…Among the various models of attention, the D-CAT is basically consistent with the model proposed by Sohlberg and Mateer (1989), in which five hierarchical classifications are proposed; each component of the hierarchy requires the effective functioning of the one below. Among their five hierarchical classification model, focused attention, sustained attention or concentration, and selective attention are the most basic classes of the hierarchy.…”

The reliability and validity of a screening test called the D-CAT (Digit Cancellation Test) were evaluated across two studies. The D-CAT was developed to provide a highly practical and user-friendly assessment of various aspects of prefrontal cortex functioning, including information processing speed, the ability to focus attention, and executive functioning. Participants perform the D-CAT by deleting given target numbers on a sheet of randomly arranged possibilities. In Study 1, the reliability of the D-CAT was evaluated using a test-retest paradigm. Reasonably high correlations between scores on the two test sessions were obtained. In Study 2, construct validity was examined using a sample of participants with traumatic brain injury. TBI participants showed significantly lower D-CAT performance than age and education level matched healthy controls. On the basis of these findings, the D-CAT can be regarded as a reliable and valid screening test for attentional functioning.Key words: screening test for attention, digit cancellation test, traumatic brain injury, test-reliability, test-validity "Higher-order cognitive functioning" consists of several different facets, including attention, memory, language, and problem solving. Each of the facets interrelates with the others in complex ways, although attention is regarded as a basic aspect of executive function in so-called higher-order cognitive functioning. The assessment of attention can be regarded as one of the most important basic aspects of any neuropsychological evaluation. Various assessments of human attentional abilities have been developed, including the Paced Serial Addition Test (PASAT), Brief Test of Attention (BTA),

“…2 In hospital practice, health care providers need sustained and distributed levels of attention to complete tasks efficiently. 3 Sinclair and others 4 demonstrated that a pharmacy validation task that is being interrupted requires 27% more time than its uninterrupted counterpart. Moreover, some authors have established a link between interruptions and medication errors at various steps in the drug-use process.…”
