Treatment and study plan

Computerized neuropsychological test

Device

Computerized neuropsychological test battery.

Conventional neuropsychological test

Other

Conventional neuropsychological test (paper and pen)

Primary outcomes

  1. Validity

    Time frame: Within 24 h

    Computerized test battery and equivalent standard neuropsychological test battery is given to the same subject. Correlation between paper and pen and equivalent computerized test is calculated as a validity measure.

  2. Reliability

    Time frame: More than 7 days, within 2 months

    The computerized test battery is given to the same subject twice. Correlation between the two tests is calculated as a test-retest reliability measure.

  3. Feasibility

    Time frame: Within 24 h

    Patients under the investigation for INPH are given the computerized test battery. Number of patients who manage to complete the test is the feasibility measure.
