Classification
NeuroRehab Supplemental - Highly Recommended
Recommendations for Use: Indicated for studies requiring a measure of cognitive abilities in daily functioning.
 
 
Short Description of Instrument
The PROMIS Item Bank v2.0 - Cognitive Function Abilities Subset is a universal assessment of patient-perceived cognitive task functional ability over 4 weeks. Concepts include mental acuity, concentration, verbal and nonverbal memory, verbal fluency, perceived change in cognitive functions, extent of cognitive impairment interference on daily functioning, other's observation of cognitive impairments, and impact of cognitive dysfunction on quality of life.
 
The Patient Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System (PROMIS) contains calibrated item banks with Likert style items for approximately 70 domains (e.g., anger, anxiety, depression, fatigue (Cella et al., 2010; Garcia et al., 2007), pain (Amtmann et al., 2010), physical function, satisfaction with social activities and roles, sleep/wake disturbance, and global health (Cella et al., 2010; Hays et al., 2009)). It is part of the NIH goal to develop systems to support NIH-funded research supported by all of its institutes and centers. PROMIS measures cover physical, mental, and social health and can be used across chronic conditions.
 
Administration:  Computer adaptive test (CAT) or short-forms
The CAT item bank has 31 items.
There are three short forms with 4, 6, and 8 items.
 
Time: Variable but design based on item-response theory algorithms to minimize time.
 
Ages: Adult (ages 18+)
 
Cost: No licensing or royalty fees for English and Spanish PROMIS measures used in individual research, clinical practice, educational assessment or other application. Translations in other languages have a distribution fee. Permission is required for commercial use or integration into proprietary technology; see PROMIS Terms and Conditions of Use for details.

Advantages: Brief, yet reliable.
 
Comments/Special Instructions
NeuroRehab Specific: The PROMIS Item Bank v2.0 - Cognitive Function is a self-report measure of cognitive abilities.
Scoring and Psychometric Properties
  
Scoring: T scores for all scales.
 
In all cases, a high score means more of a domain.
 
Standardization Population: For most domains, T-scores relate to the US General Population. See PROMIS Calibrations Testing for further details regarding sample for specific ages and domains.
 
Scoring Manual is available at: PROMIS Cognition Function Scoring Manual.
 
Psychometric Properties: Substantial qualitative and quantitative evidence has been gathered that supports the validity of PROMIS measures. More information about validation is available at: PROMIS Validation
 
 
Rationale/Justification
Strengths/Weaknesses: Provides a measure of the participant's perspective and experiences with cognitive abilities as they present day-to-day.  The items are worded positively rather than deficit-focused. Results may differ from performance measures due to a number of factors, including reduced ecological validity of performance measures as well as reduced insight and awareness of deficits on the part of the participant.
