Design outcomes

Primary

Measure	Time frame	Description
Validity	Within 24 h	Computerized test battery and equivalent standard neuropsychological test battery is given to the same subject. Correlation between paper and pen and equivalent computerized test is calculated as a validity measure.
Reliability	More than 7 days, within 2 months	The computerized test battery is given to the same subject twice. Correlation between the two tests is calculated as a test-retest reliability measure.
Feasibility	Within 24 h	Patients under the investigation for INPH are given the computerized test battery. Number of patients who manage to complete the test is the feasibility measure.
