Validity
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.
Time frame: Within 24 h
Reliability
The computerized test battery is given to the same subject twice. Correlation between the two tests is calculated as a test-retest reliability measure.
Time frame: More than 7 days, within 2 months
Feasibility
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.
Time frame: Within 24 h
