Token Test Sample Clauses

Token Test. Listening comprehension and aphasia will be assessed by the Token test at baseline and follow up (see Appendix §11.9). The Token test is comprised of 36 verbal instructions divided into 6 sections of increasing difficulty. The tokens are various shapes in different sizes and colours, a typical instruction will be ‘”please touch the red circle”. Participants are scored in terms of response accuracy. Improvement in listening comprehension will be assessed by a statistically significant increase in accuracy score between baseline and follow up. Age, reaction time increases [16,17] as our ability to quickly processes stimuli decreases. The complex reaction time test can be utilized to assess both speed of processing and accuracy. The complex reaction time task (requiring a decision about a stimuli and a timed response) captures deficits in selective attention and reaction time to complex stimuli. The test will be administered at baseline and follow up using a laptop. Speed of response, accuracy of response and false responses will be recorded. As there is a tendency for older people to monitor their activities more closely, preferring slower but more accurate performance on tasks [18], both speed of response and accuracy of response will be evaluated at baseline and follow up.

Token Test. This test is a useful evaluation tool to measure the functional evolution of the subject (baseline, intermediate evaluation and final evaluation). A score below 25 outlines a strong impairment and represents the cut-off used in the clinical field. Apart from the starting score, improvement is expected to reach a score of 32 out of 36. Statistically, subjects scoring less than 25 at first evaluation are supposed to be < or equal to 15%. In these cases what will be measured is the possible improvement (%) achieved at the final evaluation.
