The Dutch version of the Oxford Cognitive Screen (OCS-Nederlands): A stroke-specific cognitive screening tool

The Oxford Cognitive Screen (OCS) is a short screening instrument for cognitive disorders after stroke. It provides a screening for disorders in the cognitive domains most often affected by stroke, that is: attention, memory, language, numerical cognition and praxis in 15 – 20 minutes administration time. The test has been designed to be suitable for patients with aphasia, by providing multiple choice questions, as well as for patients with hemispatial neglect or visual field deficits, by aligning test items in the center of the visual field of patients. The English version of the OCS has already been shown to have good reliability and validity (Demeyere et al., 2015, Psychological Assessment). We present the recently developed Dutch translation and adaptation of the OCS and some preliminary data collected in a small sample of older-aged healthy volunteers.status: publishe
