The consequences of changes to neuropsychological test batteries on measuring cognitive decline in long‐running studies of cognitive aging and dementia
Our results support the use of high-quality instruments, like the HCAP battery, for optimally studying cognitive trajectories. However, differences between estimated HCAP and HRS-TICS trajectories were small, suggesting that, in practice, changes in test batteries over time may not meaningfully affect estimates of cognitive decline.
