Summary:To determine test-re-test reliability of the virtual planning test (VIP), an executive functioning test of planning and organization, in a group of healthy young adults as a pre-cursor to determining the appropriateness of using the VIP with individuals with traumatic brain injury (TBI). Single-group repeated measures design. Seventy-five healthy university students were administered the VIP and the Hopkins Verbal Learning Test-Revised (HVLT-R) twice, with 6-8 weeks between each subject's two test sessions. VIP test-re-test reliability ranged from 0.194-0.489. Knowing how well a healthy young adult performs the first time taking the VIP predicts little about how well that adult will perform the second time. However, given limitations of other tests of planning and organization and potential clinical benefits of the VIP, research of the test with individuals with TBI is warranted.
