Assess neurocognitive and emotional change that co-occur with dementia
Linda Nelson, Paul Satz, & Louis F. D’Elia
The Neuropsychology Behavior and Affect Profile-Dementia (NBAP-D) was designed to address the need for a measure of neurocognitive and emotional changes that co-occur with dementia. The NBAP-D assesses symptoms of a neurodegenerative process, such as dementia, by measuring changes in emotional levels and in behavior. The test was designed to augment traditional neuropsychological tests by adding information about non-cognitive functions commonly affected by neurological disorders. Since many neurologically disordered patients are unable to reliably report on their own condition (due to cognitive impairment), the NBAP-D was designed to address this issue by creating two sources of information, patient respondents and significant-other respondents.
The manual provides reliability and validity data for five scales:
- Indifference—a tendency to minimize a disability or current condition
- Inappropriateness—behavior that is inappropriate to the context in which it is occurring or to an outside event
- Pragnosia—a deficit in the pragmatics of communication style
- Depression—dysphoric mood and/or loss of interest or pleasure in most usual activities
- Mania—elevated, expansive, or irritable mood, sustained by high energy and high levels of activity
Each of the scales represents constructs typically associated with dementia. Scale scores are obtained by summing the number of "agree" responses for each of the five scales and each of the two subscales (Before and Now). This procedure yields ten raw scores that are then converted into either percentages or T scores. The Appendix provides T-score conversions for each of the five scales.
