Title
Societal Attitudes Influence Performance On The Cognistat Judgment Subtest
Keywords
Cognistat; intervene; judgment subtest
Abstract
ABSTRACT: The Cognistat is a widely used screening instrument for assessing cognitive functioning. However, the manualized scoring guidelines for one of the questions in the Judgment subtest appear insensitive to responses when examinees answer in light of current societal attitudes. Penalization of examinees is likely to lead to an underestimation of functional ability and a decrease in test validity. Suggestions for correcting this issue are presented.
