Penn Computerized Neurocognitive Battery (Penn CNB)

The Penn Computerized Neurocognitive Battery (Penn CNB) is a Dutch translation of the web-based computerized neurocognitive battery developed by the Brain Behavior Laboratory of the University of Pennsylvania (penncnp.med.upenn.edu/). It includes a total of 17 tests, resulting in measures of performance accuracy (the percentage or number of correct responses) and reaction time in 5 overall cognitive domains. These domains, their corresponding test and which cognitive skill they specifically measure are: 1) executive-control [Continuous Performance Test (measures attention), Letter N-Back Test (measures working memory), and Conditional Exclusion Test (measures abstraction and mental flexibility)]; 2) episodic memory [Face Memory Test (measures face memory), Word Memory Test (measures verbal memory), and Visual Object Learning Test (measures spatial memory)]; 3) complex cognition [Matrix Reasoning Test (measures nonverbal reasoning), Verbal Reasoning Test (measures language reasoning), and Line Orientation Test (measures spatial ability)]; 4) social cognition [Emotion Identification Test (measures emotion identification), Emotion Differentiation Test (measures emotion differentiation), and Age Differentiation Test (measures age differentiation)]; and 5) sensorimotor speed [Motor Praxis Task (measures sensorimotor speed), and Finger Tapping Test (measures motor speed)].
