Abstract
Digitalization has yet to arrive in the field of clinical neuropsychology. Arguments both in favor and against have been frequently seen in scientific publications. The purpose of this article is to compare a digital version of the Trail Making Test (TMT), a common assessment tool of a clinical neuropsychologist, to a conventional paper version. An empirical study was conducted with a counterbalanced within-subject design. Voluntary participants (n = 53) conducted two different versions (paper, tablet) of TMT in the library of medical sciences of the University of Helsinki. Significant differences in completion times between TMT variants were observed in TMT part A (F(1 , 106.591) = 7.661, p = .008). No significant differences were found from part B (F(1 , 60.397) = .980, p = .327). Results of this study are in favor of further research of the digitalized version of TMT. This study indicates that it is possible and fruitful to digitalize traditional neuropsychological methods.
