Objective : The purpose of this study was to investigate the reliability and concurrent validity of
the computerized cognitive function test system (called CNFT) for evaluating the cognitive
function and to provide its normative data.
Methods : For this purpose, 140 normal adults participated in a investigation to provide the normative
data of CNFT. 40 normal adults participated in an evaluating experiment to verify the
reliability and validity. CNFT consists of attention, memory, sensori-motor coordination, and
frontal lobe & higher cognitive function domains. Because CNFT is a computerized evaluation
tool, all results and operations are processed consistently and automatically.
Results : In the results, as the age of subjects increased, the average accuracy decreased and response
time increased. Additionally, memory and frontal lobe & higher cognitive function was
lower than other domains. Test-retest reliability of 2 weeks interval was highly correlated
(r=.48~.85) and there is no significant difference between test and retest scores. CNFT was
highly correlated with computerized neurocognitive function test (r=.67~.79; p<.05).
Conclusion : Normative data of CNFT were obtained, and the guidelines for the interpretation
were provided. A reliable and valid clinically applicable computerized cognitive function test
was developed.
