Factor structure of MicroCog in a clinical sample

Appl Neuropsychol. 2002;9(3):183-6. doi: 10.1207/S15324826AN0903_7.

Abstract

Two factor solutions adequately describe the MicroCog performance data of a clinical sample of substance abusers. Information Processing Speed and Information Processing Accuracy factors seem to explain the Short Form and Standard Form scores of a clinical sample as they do for the normative sample. Clinicians need to be aware that the factor scores do not allow for unambiguous interpretation, but may be more meaningful than independent domain scores.
