SCOLP is particularly useful to neurologists, clinical psychologists, occupational therapists, and speech therapists. It is sensitive to the effects of closed head injury, normal aging, Alzheimer’s disease, schizophrenia, and to a wide range of drugs and stressors, including alcohol.

Benefits

  • Differentiate between a subject who has always been slow and a subject whose performance has been impaired as a result of brain damage or some other stressor.
  • Measure the rate of information processing.
  • Brief and easy to administer.

Features

  • SCOLP consists of two separate measures:
  • The Speed of Comprehension Test allows the rate of information processing to be measured.
  • The Spot-the-Word Test provides a framework for interpreting the results of the first test.
