The NIH Toolbox V3 Arabic app was released in February 2024. All content that appears from the beginning to the end of an administration has been translated, including test instructions, test items, audio, and the List Sorting Working Memory Answer Sheet. Please be advised that other content such as the examiner interface, score names, FAQ, Privacy Policy, and all user support currently remain in English. The NIH Toolbox team hopes to expand upon the current translation in the future. All translation procedures were performed in accordance with current industry standards and FDA guidance. This Arabic translation is localized to the Fertile Crescent.
Examiners can administer the Fluid Cognition tests in Arabic. It is important to be aware of the following in the NIH Toolbox V3 Arabic app:
- The following tests are currently available in the V3 Arabic app: Dimensional Change Card Sort, Flanker Inhibitory Control and Attention, List Sorting Working Memory, Pattern Comparison Processing Speed, Picture Sequence Memory, and Touch Screen Tutorial.
- At this time, we have not collected normative data with an Arabic-speaking population. The normative scores that populate in the V3 Arabic app come from the US-based English speaking V3 normative sample; please use caution in any interpretations of any norm-referenced scores.
- Where applicable, the participant’s age determines whether you see and hear formal or informal test instructions.
The NIH Toolbox team would like to acknowledge the following individuals for their assistance with translation and cultural review:
