Awesome! Way to go, Jared!

Don't think I'd do anything sophisticated in this case, and not sure any direct comparison methods even exist. Would prob begin by comparing FSIQ (what was the diff?) and any shared relevant subtests (BD, Sim, Voc, Cod, Arith). Might start with 1 sd diff threshold as representing potential sig

Sweet! Downloaded to listen to on flight home! Nice to meet you!!

The authors suggest that some of these former players' problems (including suicidality) may stem from the assumption (in part driven by media coverage and public perception) that they have an untreatable neurodegenerative disease.

Point well taken, Jason. But not sure this is best article to highlight link b/w playing football and long-term brain effects. Lead author is one of the biggest critics of CTE. My takeaway of this study is that while 1/3 of players perceive they have CTE, this doesn't necessarily mean they have it.

Thanks, Andrew! Let me know how it goes!

Haha! My pleasure, Lee! Hope you find the norms useful!

Please feel free to reach out if you have any questions about our study or would like a copy of the paper and/or Excel calculator!

This is the first study that we are aware of that provides norms that directly account for occupational attainment, as assessed by Job Zones, a 5-point classification system developed by the US Dept of Labor. www.onetonline.org/help/online/...

The latter aligns with initiatives by AACN, NAN, and other neuropsychology organizations to research and implement empirically-based and ethically responsible alternatives to using race in neuropsychological norms. abcnews.go.com/US/neuropsyc...

Interestingly, by including measurable social determinants of health like reading ability and occupational attainment in our regression analyses, this reduced the impact of certain other demographic variables such as education and race on cognitive test performance.

We provide convenient look-up tables as well as a handy Excel calculator to generate robust norms for older adults, incorporating a number of demographic variables, including the usual suspects (age, education, sex) but also some new ones.

Finally got a chance to listen @andrewk-phd.bsky.social . Great job!! Looking forward to the rest of the series!

That said, I think this is something now being considered. @andrewk-phd.bsky.social has maybe done some work in this area with SRB? There's also this recent paper that used advanced regression techniques to account for ceiling effects in MoCA performance/change.

Certainly not an expert, but my understanding is yes, if someone performs near a test's ceiling, there's little room for improvement or practice effects. RCIs and SRB change formulas don't typically adjust for ceiling effects, leading to underestimated gains or exaggerated declines for high scorers.

Nope. Only a few that I'm aware of. Agree that we need more. I can tell you that one more is (hopefully) coming soon! 😉 What are your thoughts on occupational attainment as a proxy for SES with adults? I like the idea of using ADI as well.
