DSS RIPA-G:2 Ross Information Processing Assessment-Geriatric - Second Edition

Ages: 55 years and older Testing Time: 25 to 35 minutes Administration: Individual The Ross Information Processing Assessment-Geriatric: Second Edition (RIPA-G:2) is a comprehensive, norm-referenced, assessment battery designed to identify, describe, and quantify cognitive-linguistic deficits in the geriatric population (individuals 55 years and older). Speech-language pathologist, neuropsychologists, psychologists, and other rehabilitation professionals can use the test. The RIPA-G:2 is an individually administer test, taking approximately 30 minutes to complete. It can be used to diagnosis (mild, moderate, or severe) cognitive-linguistic problems and to do research that focuses on the cognitive processing in the elderly population. New Features of the RIPA-G:2 All new normative data were collected from a sample matched to the prevalence of cognitive disorders in the elderly population. A new Degree of Severity rating based on raw score performance was added to provide a global evaluation of cognitive-linguistic functioning. Numerous reliability and validity studies, including a ROC curve analysis, show that RIPA-G:2 is a highly reliable and valid assessment. The RIPA-G:2 has been streamlined to 7 subtests reducing the administration length to approximately 30 minutes. An all new Listening Comprehension subtest has been added while other subtests have been renamed to better reflect their contents. RIPA-G:2 Subtests and Composite The RIPA-G:2 subtests assess most aspects of geriatric cognitive-linguistic functioning. Their results can be combined to form an overall Information Processing Index. Immediate Memory-Repeats numbers, words, and sentences of increasing length and complexity. COMPLETE RIPA-G:2 Kit includes: Examiner's Manual and 25 Examiner Record Booklets, all in a sturdy storage box. 2012 € Previous Edition: #7795
