Article Abstract
Background: The Useful Field of View Test (UFOV®) is a widely used measure of processing speed and visual attention that predicts driving performance and other functional abilities among older adults. We examined the reliability and validity of a new UFOV® version adapted for online administration.
Method: Community-dwelling older adults ( = 69, = 73 years of age) completed the personal computer (PC) and online versions of the UFOV® at baseline and approximately 4 months later (registered at https://osf.io/7utgw). Participants also completed baseline measures of cognitive, motor, and visual function (i.e. Flanker, Timed Up and Go Test, and near visual acuity). Pearson correlations were used to examine the validity and reliability for the total and subtest scores of the online UFOV® version relative to the PC version. Convergent and divergent validity was examined by comparing correlations between both the UFOV® versions and measures of cognitive, motor, and visual function.
Results: UFOV® total, divided attention, and selective attention subtest scores of the online and PC versions were significantly correlated with moderate to strong effect sizes, s = 0.39-0.54, s < .001, supporting evidence for the validity of the online version. The online and PC versions of UFOV® were similarly related to gait speed, indicating convergent validity. Both versions of the UFOV® were distinct from near visual acuity, indicating divergent validity. The online UFOV® total and selective attention subtest scores from baseline to posttest were significantly correlated, indicating test-retest reliability, s = 0.64-0.72, s ≤ .006. Lack of variability among processing speed subtest scores restricted analyses, as performance was highly consistent across time.
Discussion: These data support the validity and reliability of the online UFOV®, particularly for the total and selective attention subtest scores. Future research should confirm the online UFOV® similarly predicts driving and other aspects of functional performance among older adults.

Psychometric properties of the 12-item short form health survey version 2 among general Thai samples: a Rasch analysis.

Background: Although the 12-item Short Form Health Survey version 2 (SF-12v2) is suitable for measuring health status in the general Thai population, it has been evaluated using classical test theory. Rasch analysis, however, offers a psychometric testing method that converts ordinal scales to interval-level data without breaching parametric assumptions. Thus, this study aimed to assess the measurement properties of Thai SF-12v2 and SF-6D items derived from it among the general Thai population.

Background: Amnestic mild cognitive impairment (aMCI) is characterized by marked episodic memory decline. The hippocampus is essential for episodic memory, and integration of information within its subregions is central to this process. This study examined how alterations in hippocampal subregional network relate to episodic memory impairment in aMCI.

Objectives: This study examined the association between adherence to the Dutch MIND diet (Mediterranean-DASH Intervention for Neurodegenerative Delay, MIND-NL) and the Dutch dietary guidelines (DHD2015-index) with global cognitive function in older adults at risk of cognitive decline.
Design And Setting: A cross-sectional study was conducted using baseline data of the FINGER-NL trial.
Participants: A total of 1,135 older adults, aged 60-80 years, at risk for cognitive decline with complete dietary data and complete neuropsychological tests were included in the analyses.
Short-term residual effects of smoked cannabis on simulated driving performance.

Center for Medicinal Cannabis Research, Department of Psychiatry, University of California San Diego, San Diego, CA, USA.
Rationale: Between periods of use, chronic cannabis consumers may display residual effects on selective cognitive functions, particularly memory and attention. Whether there are comparable deficits in real-world behaviors, such as driving, has not been thoroughly examined.
Objectives: The current study explored the association between driving simulator performance, cannabis use history, and demographic factors after ≥ 48 h of abstinence.
