The Functional Cognitive Assessment is a standardized cognitive performance assessment that is criterion referenced and administered during everyday tasks (Ebell, Ford, & Warchol, 2016). Psychometric testing is needed in order to establish content-oriented validity evidence and utility of the Functional Cognitive Assessment; thus, the purpose of the study was to establish the content-oriented validity evidence of the Functional Cognitive Assessment. Ten subject matter experts anonymously responded to a survey comparing the test items to the construct of functional cognition. Interrater agreement was 0.90 for representativeness and 0.70 for clarity. Item level content validity indices ranged from 0.70-0.90 for representativeness. The scale level content validity index was 0.81 for representativeness. Factor validity index ranged from 0.90-1.0 for each subtask. The overall factor validity index was 0.98. Item content validity indices for representativeness were assessed using a multi-rater kappa statistic, which ranged from 0.66-0.90 for each subtask, indicating that the subtasks ranged from excellent to good. Results support initial content-oriented validation of the Functional Cognitive Assessment.
