Abstract:
Objective To explore the reliability and validity of the Chinese version of the Test of Everyday Attention (TEA) in normal Chinese people. Methods 117 normal volunteers (18～65 years old) were screened with the Montreal Cognition Assessment (MoCA), and the normal volunteers were administered to TEA (versions A), Trail Making Test B (TMT-B), Paced Auditory Serial Addition Task (PASAT), Stroop Color-Word Interference Test (SCWT), Continuous Performance Test (CPT). 20 normal volunteers were also given version B for testing of the test-retest reliability, time interval was 2 weeks between versions A and B. Results There was correlation between versions A and B in the major subtests (r>0.700, P<0.01) at a two-week interval. The varimax rotation principal-component analysis extracted 4 component factors, namely sustained attention, se lective attention, switching attention, and divided attention. The factors included various subtests of TEA and the other laboratory attentional test. Conclusion TEA has good reliability and validity.
