BRANDWAYN, Natalia et al. Comparison of the Performance of Young Adults in Neuropsychological Tests in Paper-and-Pencil and Computerized Formats. Divers.: Perspect. Psicol. [online]. 2020, vol.16, n.2, pp.365-386. Epub 01-Jul-2020. ISSN 1794-9998. https://doi.org/10.15332/22563067.6319.
The application of psychological and neuropsychological tests has been impacted by technology, specifically by computerized testing. One of the frequently asked questions is whether the version in pencil and paper and the computerized one can be considered equivalent tests. This study aimed to compare the performance on neuropsychological tests in pencil-and-paper and in computerized format. Forty-one students participated in two applications of the same tests in the two versions. It was found that the performances were equivalent in most of the tests. However, there are variations in the modalities depending on the execution of the test, and high intersubject variability. Results suggest that the difference in scores may be due to the difference in the underlying cognitive processes during the performance of the two modalities.
