Term Description

NIH Toolbox performance measure age-adjusted scale score: This score compares the score of the test-taker to those in the NIH Toolbox nationally representative normative sample within the same age band, where a score of 100 indicates performance that was at the national average for the test-taking participant's age. For ages 3-17, normative age-adjusted scale scores use children of the same age for comparison (i.e., 3- year-olds are compared only to other 3-year-olds), to take into account expected developmental changes. For adults, age bands are used (18-29, 30-39, 40-49, 50-59, 60-69, 70-79, 80-85), following generally accepted practices in norm-referenced test development. A score of 115 or 85, for example, would indicate that the participant's performance is 1 SD above or below the national average, respectively, when compared with like-aged participants. Higher scores indicate better performance.
