TABLE 1.

Validation of primarily in‐clinic computerized and tablet‐based cognitive assessment

Type of validation Instrument Authors Longitudinal/cross‐sectional Platform Validation Effect size Biomarker Participants (n)
Biomarker validation Cogstate C3 Papp et al. (2020) Cross‐sectional Tablet Lower scores were associated with Aβ Small effect (d = 0.11) [18F]florbetapir‐PET 4486
NIHTB‐CB Snitz et al. (2020) Cross‐sectional Tablet Lower scores were associated with tau in higher Braak regions Small/moderate effect (β = –0.19 to –0.28) [11C]PiB‐PET [18F]AV1451‐PET 118
Cogstate CPAL Baker et al. (2019) Longitudinal (36 months) Personal computer Lower training effect in Aβ+ CN Small effect (d = 0.25 to 0.30) [11C]PiB‐PET 356
Cogstate CBB Mielke et al. (2016) Longitudinal (30 months) Personal computer No significant correlation between Aβ and cognition No effect [11C]PiB‐PET 464
CANTAB Bischof et al. (2016) Cross‐sectional Personal computer Lower memory scores were associated with higher Aβ Moderate effect (r = 0.47 to 0.48) [18F]florbetapir‐PET 147
Cogstate CBB Lim et al. (2015) Longitudinal (36 months) Personal computer Decline in memory were greater in Aβ+ CN Small/moderate effect (d = 0.39 to 0.59) [11C]PiB‐PET 178
Paper/pencil validation NIHTB‐CB and Cogstate C3 Buckley et al. (2017) Cross‐sectional Tablet Memory tasks was associated with PACC Moderate/large effect (ρ r = 0.49 to 0.58) N/A 50
