FDM IN NEURODEGENERATIVE DISEASES | 65 7. The Financial Competency Questions (FCQ; Bassett, 1999) evaluates a participants’ understanding of financial issues related to the use and maintenance of a checking account by asking five questions. Questions require a yes or no answer and an explanation of the given answer. For each question a score is given by the examiner ranging from 0 to 5. The outcome measure is the total score on the five questions, with higher scores indicating a better understanding of financial issues. The FCQ is used in one study included in this review (i.e., Bassett, 1999). 8. The Legal Capacity for Property Law Transactions Assessment Scale (LCPLTAS; Giannouli et al., 2018) evaluates financial knowledge and skills by using tasks and questions focused on financial issues. The LCPLTAS is based on the theoretical model of the FCI (Marson et al., 2000) and adapted for the Greek population. The test defines seven domains, i.e., (1) ‘basic monetary skills’, (2) ‘cash transactions’, (3) ‘bank statement management’, (4) ‘bill payment’, (5) ‘financial conceptual knowledge’, (6) ‘financial decision making’, and (7) ‘knowledge of personal assets’. The total score is based on all domains. Furthermore, scores on all domains separately can be calculated. Higher scores on this scale indicate better financial knowledge and skills. The LCPLTAS is used in two studies included in this review (i.e., Giannouli et al., 2018; Giannouli & Tsolaki, 2019). Furthermore, a pilot version of the LCPLTAS was presumably used in another included study (Giannouli & Tsolaki, 2014). 9. The Numerical Activities of Daily Living – Financial (NADL-F; Arcara et al., 2019) test is developed to evaluate independent financial functioning. The NADL-F builds on the conceptual model of Marson et al. (2000) and is based on previously published tests such as the FCAI (Kershaw & Webber, 2008) and the FCI (Marson et al., 2000). However, the NADL-F is redesigned for the socio-cultural context in Italy. The NADL- F consists of seven domains, i.e., (1) ‘counting currencies’, (2) ‘reading abilities’, (3) ‘item purchase’, (4) ‘percentages’, (5) ‘financial concepts’, (6) ‘bill payment’, and (7) ‘financial judgments’. A sum score for each domain can be calculated, with higher scores indicating a better independent financial functioning. The NADL-F is used in one study included in this review (i.e., Arcara et al., 2019). 10. The Semi-Structured Clinical Interview for Financial Capacity (SCIFC; Marson et al., 2009) assesses financial capacity using a semi-structured interview with theoretical questions and practical performance-based items. The SCIFC is based on the theoretical model of Marson et al. (2000) and the FCI. Compared to the FCI, however, the SCIFC is briefer and easier to administer. The SCIFC consists of eight domains, i.e., (1) ‘basic monetary skills’, (2) ‘financial conceptual knowledge’, (3) ‘cash transactions’, (4) ‘checkbook management’, (5) ‘bank statement management’, (6) ‘financial judgment’, (7) ‘bill payment’, and (8) ‘knowledge of personal financial assets and estate arrangements’. Scores on each domain and a total score based on the sum of domain 1 to 7 can be calculated (domain eight is considered to be experimental and is, therefore, not included in the total score). Higher scores indicate a better financial capacity. The SCIFC is used in one study included in this review (i.e., Marson et al., 2009).
