The Automated Test of Embodied Cognition: Concept, Development, and Preliminary Findings.

ABSTRACT: (1) Background: The Automated Test of Embodied Cognition (ATEC) uses video administration of cognitively demanding physical tasks and motion capture technology to assess cognition in action. Embodied cognition is a radical departure from conventional approaches to cognitive assessment and is in keeping with contemporary neuroscience. (2) Methods: ATEC was administered to a convenience sample of 20 patients with substance use disorder and 25 age-matched community controls. Patients were administered concurrent cognitive assessments. (3) Results: Psychometric analysis revealed excellent internal consistency, test-retest reliability and small practice effects. Groups were significantly different on ATEC scores and ATEC scores significantly related to concurrent measures of cognition. (4) Conc
