ABSTRACT
The Virtual Supermarket Task (VST) and Sea Hero Quest detect high-genetic-risk Alzheimer`s disease (AD). We aimed to determine their test-retest reliability in a preclinical AD population. Over two time points, separated by an 18-month period, 59 cognitively healthy individuals underwent neuropsychological spatial navigation assessment. At baseline, participants were classified as low-genetic-risk of or AD. calculated two-way mixed effects intraclass correlation coefficients (ICC) for task parameters used repeated measures ANOVAS whether genetic risk sex contributed variability. egocentric parameter the VST measure showed highest (ICC = .72), followed SHQ distance travelled .50). Post hoc longitudinal analysis that boundary-based predicts worsening episodic memory concerns high-risk (F 5.01, P 0.03), but not low-risk, candidates. produced with acceptable reliability. Further research larger sample sizes is desirable.
