Feasibility and reliability of online vs in-person cognitive testing in healthy older people.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Early evidence in using online cognitive assessments show that they could offer a feasible and resource-efficient alternative to in-person clinical assessments in evaluating cognitive performance, yet there is currently little understanding about how these assessments relate to traditional, in-person cognitive tests.

Objectives

In this preliminary study, we assess the feasibility and reliability of NeurOn, a novel online cognitive assessment tool. NeurOn measures various cognitive domains including processing speed, executive functioning, spatial working memory, episodic memory, attentional control, visuospatial functioning, and spatial orientation.

Design

Thirty-two participants (mean age: 70.19) completed two testing sessions, unsupervised online and in-p
