Using the Mobile Toolbox in Child and Adolescent Samples: Initial Evidence of Reliability, Validity, and Acceptability

Year: 2023

Type: preprint

Abstract: The Mobile Toolbox (MTB) is a novel remote assessment system originally designed for adults. This paper presents preliminary evidence of the MTB cognitive measures’ psychometric properties in a sample of 99 children (M age = 11.79 years; 36% female; 53% White, 33% Black/African American, 9% Asian; 15% Hispanic). Strong performance on practice items and completion rates provides evidence of feasibility in this sample. Reliability was good across five of the six measures, and marginal on one. The MTB measures demonstrated moderate to large correlations with age and with measures of similar constructs on the NIH Toolbox. Results suggest that the MTB has potential for use in pediatric samples and further validation studies are encouraged.
