Neuropsych Procedures
All verbal responses and their scoring should be marked on these
Each designated test record form
Persons having access to records and data must be reviewed and authorized by this person
Lab PI
The size of the cap chosen for a participant is based on this measurement
Head Circumference in CM
PID, or participant identifier involves these two pieces of information
Study Title and research ID (DOD 50)
Double-scoring is to be completed within this time frame of the neuropsychological tests being administered to a participant.
2 weeks
These 3 tests do not allow the stimuli to be repeated, even in a participant asks
HVLT-R/RAVLT and WAIS4 Digit Span
Audio recordings are deleted after these two things have occurred
Double-checker has listened to recordings to verify accuracy of scoring/responses and the final documents have been uploaded to RedCAP
When cleaning equipment after a session, water is ok to use on all materials but this one
Leads/Cables
Any change, whether undesired, noxious, or pathological in a subject illustrated by signs or symptoms that occur during study participation, whether or not it is related to study procedures is called this
Adverse Event
Errors are recorded on forms by doing this
Single slash through error, correction next to it, writing person's initials making the change
Once the paper neuropsychological packet has been double-checked, digitized in RedCAP, and verified for accuracy, it can then be discarded to
The Shred Bin
When working remotely and accessing files in OneDrive, you should work from these versions
Web-Based Only. Not downloaded versions, or any in other cloud-based storage
After each brain stimulation session, three things should be documented, which are
HD-tDCS Record Form, Adverse Effects Survey, and Minutes Log
These errors on TMT and DKEFS Trail Making occur when a participant correctly switches from one set of symbols to the other, but connects an item that is out of order within the correct set
Sequencing Errors
All of the HD-tDCS Record Forms are to be digitized and uploaded as a single PDF packet in OneDrive to a participant's designated folder at this time point
Same day all treatment sessions are completed.
The Boston Naming Test Short Form has what conversion to derive a standardized score
Prorated - raw score multiplied by 2, then look up t-score
Baseline surveys and interviews should be completed no more than this prior to the initial study visit
14 days before
Questionnairres and surveys that are outcome measures are only given when this has occurred
Immediately after last treatment session, and if available, a follow-up visit
These errors on TMT and DKEFS Trail Making occur when the participant fails to switch from one set of symbols to the other
Set-Loss Errors
Neuropsychological test scores in RedCAP are to be marked as this until they have been reviewed by the study coordinator, once double-checking has been completed
Unverified - shows yellow
Tests of language and visuospatial organization should not be given in this time period
In-between the learning and delayed recall trials of memory tests
Should an adverse event develop, this two part process should be done
Immediately notify PI and document the details in the AE log in RedCAP
The distance from the nasion to the first electrode position on the cap, FPz, should be this proportion
10% of distance from inion to nasion
These errors on TMT and DKEFS Trail Making occur when the participant fails to connect one or more items because the time limit for the condition has elapsed.
Time-Discontinue Errors
The Neuropsychology Packet that gets uploaded to RedCAP consists of these materials
