NIH Toolbox for Assessment of Neurological and Behavioral Function: Relevance to Geriatric Psychiatry
Chair: Molly Wagster, PhD, Faculty: Hugh Hendrie, MB, ChB, DSc, Emmeline Edwards, PhD, Discussant: Bruce Cuthbert, PhD
The NIH Toolbox for Assessment of Neurological and Behavioral Function provides a psychometrically sound, validated, state-of-the-art set of measures for assessing cognitive, emotional, motor and sensory function over the lifespan from ages 3–85 years. This set of brief, easy-to-use, and inexpensive-to-administer measures provides a new opportunity for both researchers and clinicians to capture uniform data for longitudinal and epidemiologic studies and prevention or intervention trials.

Richard Gershon, PhD, is Associate Professor, Vice Chair for Research, Department of Medical Social Sciences, and faculty member, Department of Psychology, Northwestern University. Dr. Gershon is a leading expert in the application of Item Response Theory (IRT) in individualized and large scale assessments. He has developed item banks and Computerized Adaptive Testing (CAT) for educational, clinical, and health applications - including cognitive, emotional, and motor applications. He is currently principal investigator on the NIH Toolbox. He is also co-investigator and measurement development expert on each of the following projects: NINDS sponsored project “Quality of Life Outcomes in Neurological Disorders” (Neuro-QoL), NIH Roadmap project “Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System (PROMIS) and the cancer-specific supplement, plus several smaller projects.
