Abstract
Despite being one of the most widely used measures in clinical neuropsychology, the Trail Making
Test is highly reliant on intact vision and motor functioning. Given that these capacities are often
compromised in patients requiring neuropsychological evaluation, various authors have proposed
methods for adapting the Trail Making Test for oral administration. To date, a number of
administration and score transformation methods have been proposed. We reviewed the existing
literature on oral adaptation of the Trail Making Test in order to provide recommendations for
practicing clinicians wishing to use the measure, and to highlight directions for future research.
