“…These tests include the Clinical Dementia Rating [24,25], Mini Mental State Examination [25‐28], Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale [28,29] Useful Field of Vision [26‐28], Trail‐making test A and B [28,30], and Clock drawing test [31]. Some cognitive screening tools are specifically aimed at assessing driving competency, such as the Cognitive Behavioral Driver's Inventory [32], the Rockwood Driving Battery [33], DriveSafe, and DriveAware [34]. The CPAD used in this study is also one of the batteries used to screen cognitive skills essential for safe driving.…”

“…However, from the publication, it is unclear as to what the sensitivity and the specificity would be for the study group as a whole using a specified cut-off score. The Rookwood Driving Battery (Rees et al, 2008) is composed of 12 tests, including three subtests of the Behavioural Assessment of Dysexecutive Syndrome (Wilson, Alderman, Burgess, Emslie & Evans, 2003), and the Weigl Sorting Task (Weigl, 1927), takes 30-40 minutes to administer and was found to have a sensitivity of 92% and specificity of 71% in predicting on-road driving performance (McKenna et al, 2004). The Sensory Motor Cognitive Tests (SMCT) showed very high sensitivity (97%) and specificity (89%) in patients with brain disorders in relation to on-road driving tests (Innes et al, 2007).…”

Among the 53 tools, there were 27 general assessments of cognition, 19 driving-specific and seven activities of daily living/instrumental activities of daily living assessments. No single tool measured all executive function components: working memory was the most common (n = 20/53). Several tools demonstrated strong predictive validity and clinical utility. For example, tools, such as the Trail Making Test and the Maze Task, have the shortest administration time (i.e. often less than 10 minutes) and the most easily accessible method of administration (i.e. pen and paper or verbal). Driving-specific tools range from short questionnaires, such as the 10-minute Manchester Driving Behaviour Questionnaire, to more complex tools requiring about 45 minutes to administer. CONCLUSIONS AND SIGNIFICANCE OF THE STUDY: The appropriateness of a tool depends on the individual being assessed and on practical constraints of the clinical context. The Driving Executive Function Tool Guide provides useful information that should facilitate decision-making and selection of appropriate executive function tools in relation to driving.

“…She and her colleagues identified visuospatial perception, attention, executive function, praxis and comprehension as being the important domains of cognition involved in the task of driving (Rees et al, 2008). Using this research, accompanied by results from the task analysis, a list of cognitive domains essential for the task of parking was developed.…”

Statement of context: The assessment of fitness to drive can often involve cognitive screening carried out by an occupational therapist. In the field of driving assessment there is a challenge to select and administer suitable office-based cognitive tests, in conjunction with an on-road assessment, which can be used to provide supporting evidence of a client's fitness to drive. Critical reflection on practice: This practice analysis aims to reflect on the inherent problems of office-based testing. Implications for practice: The author describes the development of a cognitive test based on the Multiple Errands Test -Hospital Version, which can be used while driving in a real-life situation.

The Rookwood Driving Battery: Normative older adult performance

Abstract: Performance on the Rookwood Battery differs for the over 70s and under 70s. The authors suggest essential modifications in its use with older people.
