Biomedical Terminologies and Standards

Notes
The NIH Toolbox Taste Intensity Test measures the perceived intensity of quinine (a bitter tastant) and salt administered in liquid solutions. The tastants are each applied to the tip of the tongue as well as swished around in the whole mouth and are rated on a generalized labeled magnitude scale (gLMS). The gLMS is a measure of perceived intensity, with seven anchor labels provided (Strongest imaginable, Very strong, Strong, Moderate, Weak, Barely detectable, No sensation). Participants can rate their intensity by clicking with a computer mouse on any point on the scale from Strongest imaginable to No sensation. The computer records the exact location of each response. The test is recommended for administration to participants ages 12-85 and takes approximately six minutes to administer.

Guidelines/Instructions
Before we begin, please rinse out your mouth two times with the bottled water and then spit the rinse water into this container. Continue: Now, I am going to ask you to rate the strength of these tastes. First, I will put some of the solution across the tip of your tongue and ask for a rating. To begin, I will put on these gloves. Show the card to the participant. Step 1: The examiner should put on gloves for the remainder of this measure. Step 2: Put the swabs into the cups of solution and say: Then, I will put this sterile cotton swab into the solution.
Preferred Question Text
Use this scale to rate the brightness of a well-lit room. How strong or intense is the brightness to you?
