Token Test - Validation Study in Older Czech Adults and Patients with Neurodegenerative Diseases

Original language description

Aim: The study examines psychometric properties of the Czech version of the Token Test (TT) on a population of Czech seniors and individuals with neurodegenerative brain diseases. Participants and methods: The study included 96 individuals (mean age 67.7 years), of whom 43 were healthy controls (HC), 23 had incipient Alzheimer&apos;s disease or mild cognitive impairment due to Alzheimer&apos;s disease (AD + MCI), and 30 had Parkinson&apos;s disease (PD). Results: Significant differences in TT performance were found between the sample groups HC and AD + MCI (p &lt; 0.001) and between PD and AD + MCI (p &lt; 0.001). The highest convergent validity of TT was with the immediate reproduction of the Rey-Osterrieth complex figure (rho = 0.524; p &lt; 0.001), the Boston Naming Test (rho = 0.498; p &lt; 0.001) and the Mississippi Aphasia Screening Test (p = 0.486; p &lt;0.001). ROC analysis showed TT to discriminate with high precision for AD + MCI (AUC = 0.826), not for PN (AUC = 0.826). Conclusion: TT does not selectively evaluate the language function as such but it is selective for neurogenic communication disorders in patients with neurodegenerative brain disease.
