Our Computerized Cognitive Testing Battery assesses all core
cognitive domains including attention, memory, sensory-motor-spatial, language
and flexible and sound decision-making skills.
The report provides objective information
about the tests and what the deficits, if any, mean to real-world
performance (see below). Managers can use that information to make decisions
about whether any intervention is warranted. Any decision to retrain
or redeploy will be based on sound, objective and sensitively acquired
data.
Results are analyzed using an extensive international database
of the human brain. This is a large normative database consisting of
normative scores in psychometrics, psychophysiology, sMRI, genetics and
demographics across a wide age range (6-90 years).
The data is acquired using an intuitive IBM touchscreen computer
interface that allows the tests to be undertaken across a wide age range
(6-85 years) with no limitation imposed by a user's computer proficiency.
Cognitive profiles are statistically matched for age, sex and years of education.
Once the battery is completed it is uploaded to
a centralized processing facility. State of the art analysis methods
are applied and an individualized report is generated and returned
to your organization within 72 hours.
Reports are sent to your Psychologist or Occupational Health & Safety
Manager who can interpret them in context of your organizational
needs and the individual's presentation.
The following is a list of the tests in the battery and their practical significance:
-
Motor Tapping
Hand-eye coordination. Everyday motor skills such as typing and machine operation.
-
Choice Reaction Time
Decision and motor speed; visual discriminative judgment and response. Examples: visual monitoring tasks requiring choice and reaction such as air traffic control, driving judgment.
-
Timing
Ability to estimate time duration; time organization.
-
Memory Recall and Recognition
Ability to learn and remember new tasks based on verbal information. Critical, central everyday skill.
-
Spot the Real Word
Language comprehension and an index of IQ; language skill; correlates with premorbid intelligence.
-
Span of Visual Memory
Ability to hold and retain new spatial information. Skills crucial to most everyday, non-verbal tasks requiring memory. Examples include navigation, operating industrial machines.
-
Number Memory Test
Ability to hold, retain and operate on new verbal information. Skills crucial to most everyday, verbal tasks requiring memory. Everyday examples include remembering telephone numbers and shopping lists.
-
Word Inference Test
Simple reading ability. Ability to control impulses; behavioral control e.g. anger control.
-
Word Generation Test
Verbal fluency
-
Sustained Attention Test
Attention proficiency; ability to detect and respond to significant change under conditions requiring vigilance. Fundamental everyday skills e.g. train, plane, automobile, computer and equivalent machine operations.
-
Switching of Attention
Mental flexibility; ability to sustain and control the direction of attention. Critical activity for everyday multitasking skills e.g. management, driving.
-
Executive Maze
Planning, foresight and error correction; Ability to plan, strategize and implement complex tasks involving visuospatial information.
