Abstract

Visual diagnostic tests must have a high degree of consistency in its measurements (high reliability) to ensure accurate assessment of perceptual abilities. The current study assessed test-retest reliability and practice effects in Leuven Perceptual Organisation Screening Test (L-POST) in 144 healthy volunteers with time intervals between 0 and 756 days. We used correlation analysis, Bland-Altman analysis, and multi-level modelling. Results from our three analyses converged and supported an adequate reliability of L-POST. Multi-level modelling demonstrated an absence of practice effect, suggesting that the LPOST is suitable for repeat administration. This study suggests that Leuven Perceptual Organisation Screening Test has adequate reliability and is suitable for repeat administration even at short intervals. This study provides the basis for a more systematic evaluation for neuropsychological assessments, which can lead to the development of more reliable assessment batteries.
