简要总结
The goal of this study is to validate the virtual version of the Multiple Errands Test (V-MET) as a tool for assessing executive functions in patients with alcohol use disorder (AUD).
More specifically, the project aims to:
- evaluate if the performance in the virtual version of the test is related to the performance in the original test in patients with AUD.
- establish whether the virtual version of the test is sensitive enough to detect patients with or without an executive function deficit.
All participants will perform the original version (in a real-life supermarket) and the virtual version of the test (in a virtual reality environment).
Performance in the two versions of the test will be compared. Participants will also complete a battery of neuropsychological tests and questionnaires.
详细描述
The project aims to validate the virtual version of the Multiple Errands Test (V-MET) as a tool for assessing executive function in patients with alcohol use disorder (AUD), in comparison to the original test (MET), by:
- establishing the ecological validity of the V-MET: a high correlation between performance on the MET and performance on the V-MET (total number of errors) in patients with TUAL and executive dysfunction.
- establishing the sensitivity of the V-MET (to executive dysfunction): significant difference between V-MET performance in patients with an AUD and executive dysfunction versus (a) patients without executive dysfunction and (b) "healthy" volunteers
