The tasks are novel, repeatable, and self-administered implementations of classic neurobehavioral paradigms.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Thirty healthy younger adults were assessed on 2 separate days, once under the influence of alcohol and once under a placebo, with order counterbalanced. Each day included 8 assessments. The tasks comprised novel, engaging implementations of the Digit Symbol Substitution Task (DSST), reaction time, N-back working memory, and visual associative\/episodic memory, and were compared with benchmark measures. In-laboratory assessments were preceded by massed practice (3 sessions), and blood alcohol concentration was monitored throughout using a breathalyzer and a Visual Analog Scale.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Alcohol-related impairment was observed across multiple measures, followed by a return to baseline as blood alcohol concentration declined. A slight practice effect was noted between the first and second sessions for the digital DSST, along with a longer-term effect across the 2 days. Moderate to strong correlations between digital and benchmark measures were observed at peak intoxication.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Under alcohol challenge, this battery, along with benchmark standardized tests, demonstrates sensitivity to subtle changes in cognitive performance over time. Practice effects are minimal within this condensed protocol. Patient-friendly, repeatable tests administered via a digital platform, such as those in the current battery, warrant further investigation in the context of remote clinical studies that require methodological approaches capable of discerning and describing small changes over time. The availability of validated single tests or test batteries as sensitive tools that can be easily and frequently administered (eg, daily) would address a critical gap: the lack of descriptors with sufficient sensitivity, specificity, and reliability to detect cognitive changes over time in clinical trials of new therapies for neurological and psychiatric conditions.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.2196\/55469","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,6,12]],"date-time":"2025-06-12T14:00:10Z","timestamp":1749736810000},"page":"e55469","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Temporal Dynamics of Subtle Cognitive Change: Validation of a User-Friendly Multidomain Digital Assessment Using an Alcohol Challenge"],"prefix":"10.2196","volume":"27","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-9354-6843","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"John Frederick","family":"Dyer","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-1162-0195","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Florentine Marie","family":"Barbey","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0008-8339-3933","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Ayan","family":"Ghoshal","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-7134-5485","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Ann Marie","family":"Hake","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-2733-8151","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Bryan J","family":"Hansen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-7905-7373","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Md Nurul","family":"Islam","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-3396-5402","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Judith","family":"Jaeger","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-3258-7710","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Rouba","family":"Kozak","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-7460-0581","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Hugh","family":"Marston","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-7330-3836","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Mark","family":"Moss","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-6867-6929","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Viet","family":"Nguyen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0005-9006-7341","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Rebecca Louise","family":"Quinn","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0003-5886-0206","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Leslie A","family":"Shinobu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-2966-2281","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Elizabeth","family":"Tunbridge","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0001-7038-8210","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Brian","family":"Murphy","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-7492-0828","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Niamh","family":"Kennedy","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1010","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,6,12]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1186\/alzrt222"},{"key":"ref2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.drudis.2016.01.010"},{"key":"ref3","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1093\/arclin\/acx050"},{"key":"ref4","unstructured":"BorlandEAdvancing the use of brief cognitive tests - establishing norms, clinically relevant changes and predictive models.
