The Attention Network Test-Interaction (ANT-I): reliability and validity in healthy older adults

The Attention Network Test (ANT) is a frequently used computer-based tool for measuring the three attention networks (alerting, orienting, and executive control). We examined the psychometric properties of performance on a variant of the ANT, the Attention Network Test-Interaction (ANT-I) in healthy...

description The Attention Network Test (ANT) is a frequently used computer-based tool for measuring the three attention networks (alerting, orienting, and executive control). We examined the psychometric properties of performance on a variant of the ANT, the Attention Network Test-Interaction (ANT-I) in healthy older adults ( N  = 173; mean age = 65.4, SD = 6.5; obtained from the Brain in Motion Study, Tyndall et al. BMC Geriatr 13:21, 2013 . doi: 10.1186/1471-2318-13-21) to evaluate its usefulness as a measurement tool in both aging and clinical research. In terms of test reliability, split-half correlation analyses showed that all network scores were significantly reliable, although the strength of the correlations varied across networks as seen before ( r  = 0.29, 0.70, and 0.68, for alerting, orienting, and executive networks, respectively, p ’s

In terms of construct validity, ANOVAs confirmed that each network score was significant (18.3, 59.4, and 109.2 ms for the alerting, orienting, and executive networks, respectively, p ’s &lt; 0.01) and that these scores were generally independent from each other. Importantly, for criterion validity, a series of hierarchical linear regressions showed that the executive network score, in addition to demographic information, was a significant predictor of performance on tests of conflict resolution as well as verbal memory and retrieval ( β  = −0.165 and −0.184, p ’s &lt; 0.05, respectively). These results provide new information regarding the reliability and validity of ANT-I test performance in a healthy older adult population. The results provide insights into the psychometrics of the ANT-I and its potential utility in clinical research settings.</description><identifier>ISSN: 0014-4819</identifier><identifier>EISSN: 1432-1106</identifier><identifier>DOI: 10.1007/s00221-015-4493-4</identifier><identifier>PMID: 26645310</identifier><language>eng</language><publisher>Berlin/Heidelberg: Springer Berlin Heidelberg</publisher><subject>Acoustic Stimulation - methods ; Acoustic Stimulation - standards ; Aged ; Aged, 80 and over ; Aging - physiology ; Attention (Psychology) ; Attention - physiology ; Biomedical and Life Sciences ; Biomedicine ; Brain - physiology ; Brain research ; Cohort Studies ; Executive Function - physiology ; Female ; Humans ; Male ; Medicine ; Middle Aged ; Neurology ; Neurosciences ; Older people ; Orientation - physiology ; Photic Stimulation - methods ; Physiological aspects ; Prospective Studies ; Psychometrics ; Quantitative psychology ; Reaction Time - physiology ; Reproducibility of Results ; Research Article ; Validity</subject><ispartof>Experimental brain research, 2016-03, Vol.234 (3), p.815-827</ispartof><rights>Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg 2015</rights><rights>COPYRIGHT 2016 Springer</rights><rights>Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg 2016</rights><lds50>peer_reviewed</lds50><woscitedreferencessubscribed>false</woscitedreferencessubscribed><citedby>FETCH-LOGICAL-c542t-c7aab369f1270fdbba37244eeadd143cd5277e6603dd9d5c5c0893eca7be1abb3</citedby><cites>FETCH-LOGICAL-c542t-c7aab369f1270fdbba37244eeadd143cd5277e6603dd9d5c5c0893eca7be1abb3</cites></display><links><openurl>$$Topenurl_article</openurl><openurlfulltext>$$Topenurlfull_article</openurlfulltext><thumbnail>$$Tsyndetics_thumb_exl</thumbnail><linktopdf>$$Uhttps://www.proquest.com/docview/1764628058/fulltextPDF?pq-origsite=primo$$EPDF$$P50$$Gproquest$$H</linktopdf><linktohtml>$$Uhttps://www.proquest.com/docview/1764628058?pq-origsite=primo$$EHTML$$P50$$Gproquest$$H</linktohtml><link.rule.ids>314,780,784,21394,27924,27925,33611,33612,43733,74221</link.rule.ids><backlink>$$Uhttps://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/26645310$$D View this record in MEDLINE/PubMed$$Hfree_for_read</backlink></links><search><creatorcontrib>Ishigami, Yoko</creatorcontrib><creatorcontrib>Eskes, Gail A.</creatorcontrib><creatorcontrib>Tyndall, Amanda V.</creatorcontrib><creatorcontrib>Longman, R.
