4. General Information —Examinee recalls general information encoded in remote memory. Most stimuli represent information learned by the sixth grade. 5. Situational Knowledge —Examinee responds to stimuli requiring problem- solving and reasoning strategies. The examinee is to generate response options based on relevant information. Once a solution is deduced, it must be checked against knowledge of reality and against reality itself. 6. Categorical Vocabulary —Examinee lists items in a category, and names cat- egories of items. This subtest is a measure of an individual’s semantic organiza- tion base, word-finding abilities, and general organization skills. 7. Listening Comprehension —Examinee listens to a short narrative paragraph and answers specific questions about the content. The paragraphs are of increasing length and complexity. Skills of immediate memory, auditory sequential memory, receptive vocabulary, and processing speed are required for success on this subtest. INFORMATION PROCESSING INDEX Represents broad information-processing concepts associated with information pro- cessing and language. STATISTICAL AND TECHNICAL CHARACTERISTICS OF THE RIPA-G:2 Norms: The RIPA-G:2 is normed on 229 individuals aged 55–97 years living in 10 states. Scores: Information Processing Index, Subtest Scaled Scores, Percentile Ranks, SEM s, Degree of Severity, and Diacritical Scores Summary. Reliability: Content, time, and scorer-differences coefficients are consistently high. Validity: Content-description, criterion-prediction, and construct-identification validity support that the RIPA-G:2 is a valid measure. Special Populations: Data were collected on normally functioning adults and adults who were diagnosed with at least one of the following conditions: mild cognitive impairment (MCI), mild to moderate Alzheimer’s Disease (MAD), right cerebrovascular accident (RCVA), or traumatic brain injury (TBI).

The Ross Information Processing Assessment–Geriatric: Second Edition (RIPA-G:2) is a comprehensive, norm-referenced, assessment battery designed to identify, describe, and quantify cognitive-linguistic deficits in the geriatric population (individuals 55 years and older). Speech–language pathologists, neuropsychologists, psychologists, and other rehabilitation professionals can use the test. The RIPA-G:2 is an individu- ally administered test, taking approximately 30 minutes to complete. It can be used to diagnose (mild, moderate, or severe) cognitive-linguistic problems and to conduct research that focuses on cognitive processing in the elderly population. FEATURES OF THE RIPA-G:2 • All-new normative data were collected from a sample matched to the prevalence of cognitive disorders in the elderly population. • A new Degree of Severity rating based on raw score performance was added to pro- vide a global evaluation of cognitive-linguistic functioning. • Numerous reliability and validity studies, including a ROC curve analysis, show that the RIPA-G:2 is a highly reliable and valid assessment. • The RIPA-G:2 has been streamlined to seven subtests, reducing the administration length to approximately 30 minutes. • An all-new Listening Comprehension subtest has been added, while other subtests have been renamed to better reflect their contents. RIPA-G:2 SUBTESTS AND COMPOSITE The RIPA-G:2 subtests assess most aspects of geriatric cognitive-linguistic function- ing. Their results can be combined to form an overall Information Processing Index. 1. Immediate Memory —Examinee repeats numbers, words, and sentences of increasing length and complexity. 2. Temporal Orientation —Examinee answers questions related to the concept of time. Elicitation of the accurate responses requires recall from both recent and remote memory. Temporal concepts require functional organizational skills. 3. Spatial Orientation —Examinee answers questions related to the concept of locations or places. Elicitation of accurate responses requires recall from both recent and remote memory. Spatial concepts require organizational skills, includ- ing categorization and sequencing.
