Assessment of Temporal Somatosensory Discrimination in Females with Fibromyalgia: Reliability and Discriminative Ability of a New Assessment Tool [PDF]
SensorsWe assessed the test–retest reliability and discriminative ability of a somatosensory temporal discrimination (SSTD) assessment tool for fibromyalgia syndrome (FMS) and determined if pain-related variables were associated with SSTD performance.

The calibrated model-based concordance improved assessment of discriminative ability in patient clusters of limited sample size [PDF]
Diagnostic and Prognostic Research, 2019 Background Discriminative ability is an important aspect of prediction model performance, but challenging to assess in clustered (e.g., multicenter) data. Concordance (c)-indexes may be too extreme within small clusters. We aimed to define a new approach

Healthy aging impairs face discrimination ability
Journal of Vision, 2022 Face images enable individual identities to be discriminated from one another. We aimed to quantify age-related changes in different aspects of face identity discrimination. Face discrimination sensitivity was measured with a memory-free "odd-one-out" task.
