| Description | Aim: The study examines psychometric properties of the Czech version of the Token Test (TT) on a population of Czech seniors and individuals with neurodegenerative brain diseases. Participants and methods: The study included 96 individuals (mean age 67.7 years), of whom 43 were healthy controls (HC), 23 had incipient Alzheimer’s disease or mild cognitive impairment due to Alzheimer’s disease (AD + MCI), and 30 had Parkinson’s disease (PD). Results: Signifi cant diff erences in TT performance were found between the sample groups HC and AD + MCI and between PD and AD + MCI (. The highest convergent validity of TT was with the immediate reproduction of the Rey-Osterrieth complex fi gure , the Boston Naming Test and the Mississippi Aphasia Screening Test . ROC analysis showed TT to discriminate with high precision for AD + MCI (AUC = 0.826), not for PN (AUC = 0.826). Conclusion: TT does not selectively evaluate the language function as such but it is selective for neurogenic communication disorders in patients with neurodegenerative brain disease. |
