Clock Drawing as a Tool to Reduce Cognitive Assessment Time

Within the CDT scoring system, clock hands and numbers were the strongest predictors of performance on the TorCA sub-tests. The most robust associations were with domains of working memory/attention/executive function, semantic knowledge, and visuospatial function. We plan to apply artificial intelligence to classify clocks based on these cognitive functions. We will then examine how these classified clocks relate to TorCA sub-tests to determine whether redundant tests could be removed, thereby shortening administration time.

Abstract

Within the CDT scoring system, clock hands and numbers were the strongest predictors of performance on the TorCA sub-tests. The most robust associations were with domains of working memory/attention/executive function, semantic knowledge, and visuospatial function. We plan to apply artificial intelligence to classify clocks based on these cognitive functions. We will then examine how these classified clocks relate to TorCA sub-tests to determine whether redundant tests could be removed, thereby shortening administration time.
