BRAIN INJURY
CTMT2: Comprehensive Trail-Making Test–Second Edition Cecil R. Reynolds AGES: 8-0 through 79-11
TESTING TIME: 5 to 15 minutes ADMINISTRATION: Individual SCORING: Manual
The Comprehensive Trail-Making Test–Second Edition (CTMT2) is a standardized assessment that uses five visual search and sequencing tasks, called trails , that are heavily influenced by attention, concentration, resistance to distraction, and cognitive flexibility (or set-shifting). The basic task of the trails is to connect a series of stimuli (numbers, expressed as numerals or in word form, and letters) in a specified order as quickly as possible. The test’s primary uses include the evaluation and diagnosis of brain injury and other forms of central nervous system compromise. Other purposes include detection of frontal lobe deficits; problems with psychomotor speed, visual search and sequencing, and attention; and impairments in set-shifting, along with monitoring recovery from concussion and other forms of TBI. Neuropsychologists; clinical, counseling, school, and pediatric psychologists; occupational therapists; speech and language professionals; physical therapists; and others interested in objective testing of functionality in brain–behavior relationships would all benefit from using the CTMT2. FEATURES OF THE CTMT2 • An updated normative sample is reflective of 2017 U.S. Census data for ages 8 through 79 years. • Two new composite indexes, Inhibitory Control (composed of Trails 1–3) and Set- Shifting (Trails 4–5), are included in addition to the Total Composite Index (Trails 1–5). These indexes add clinical richness and help both clinicians and researchers in evaluating the source and implications of low scores on the CTMT2. • Validity data relating the CTMT2 to the Wechsler Intelligence Scales’ indexes are included. • Enhanced validity data related to CTMT2 performance of persons with traumatic brain injury and the degree of initial injury as measured by the Glasgow Coma Scale are added. • Diagnostic accuracy analyses, which are considered the most rigorous techniques for establishing a test’s validity, are included. These analyses involve the computation of sensitivity and specificity indexes and receiver operating characteristic/area under the curve (ROC/AUC) statistic. ALFA: Assessment of Language-Related Functional Activities Kathleen A. Baines • Ann W. Martin • Heidi McMartin Heeringa AGES: 16-0 through 95-0 TESTING TIME: 30 minutes to 2 hours ADMINISTRATION: Individual The ALFA consists of 10 subtests, each of which assesses a different functional activity: Telling Time, Counting Money, Addressing an Envelope, Solving Daily Math Problems, Writing a Check/Balancing a Checkbook, Understanding Medicine Labels, Using a Calendar, Reading Instructions, Using the Telephone, and Writing a Phone Message. The patient actually performs each functional activity, and you record an objective, quantitative score. The ALFA helps you meet the daily, frontline need to quickly and conveniently assess patients’ functional language–related activities. The ALFA’s sub- tests require use of all language modalities—auditory comprehension, verbal expres- sion, reading, and writing—as well as cognitive and motor skills. Also, the test allows you to observe multiple cognitive processes, which can sometimes eliminate the need to administer specialized tests for the assessment of certain areas. You will find the ALFA useful in a variety of patient settings, such as in- and outpatient rehabilitation programs, subacute rehabilitation programs, foster-care homes, nursing homes, home health care, and others. COMPLETE ALFA KIT INCLUDES: Examiner’s Manual, Picture Book, 25 Profile/Examiner Record Forms, and an additional Materials Kit (10 tokens, clock, medicine chart, and 25 envelopes). (©1999)
TECHNICAL AND STATISTICAL CHARACTERISTICS The CTMT2 was normed on a sample of 1,904 participants from 38 states. Its raw scores (the time it takes to complete each trail in seconds) are converted to T scores having a mean of 50 and a standard deviation of 10. The three composite scores can be derived by pooling the T scores from the individual trails. The Examiner’s Manual includes a discussion of the test’s theoretical and research-based foundation, stan- dardization, administration and scoring procedures, normative tables, and extensive reliability and validity data. The CTMT2’s internal consistency reliability coefficients are .89 for the Inhibitory Control Index, .79 for the Set-Shifting Index, and .92 for the Total Composite Index. Validity studies demonstrate the test’s ability to differentiate participants with a history of traumatic brain injury from those without even in post-rehabilitation samples, where use of just the Total Composite Index (TCI) resulted in sensitivity of .73, specificity of .71, and a ROC/AUC of .82. COMPLETE CTMT2 KIT INCLUDES: Examiner’s Manual and 10 Record Booklets, all in a sturdy storage box.
