Abstract
Systems and methods of the present invention provide for generating a first and second series of interface objects comprising a first and second sequence respectively, displayed on a graphical user interface (GUI). At least one visual indicator display object is also displayed that requires a switch between the first and second series of user interface objects. A user navigates through the first and second series of interface objects, including the visual indicator display object(s), and a score for the user is calculated according to a user input matching, or failing to match, a correct response associated with a task data defining a function skill demonstrating a cognitive ability of the user.
Claims18
A system comprising a server hardware computing device coupled to a network and comprising at least one processor executing specific computer-executable instructions within a memory that, when executed, cause the system to:
- generate:
- a first series of user interface objects selected from a database coupled to a network, and comprising:
- a first sequence including a plurality of letters;
- or
- a plurality of character string descriptions, each character string in the plurality of character strings comprising a color character string or a user interface characteristic character string;
- a second series of user interface objects selected from the database and comprising:
- a second sequence including a plurality of numbers;
- or
- a plurality of user interface characteristics including a color or a characteristic of a user interface object in the first series of user interface objects or the second series of user interface objects;
- and
- at least one visual indicator display object selected from the database and requiring, according to a logic or at least one rule within the specific computer-executable instructions, a switch, alternating between the first series of user interface objects, and the second series of user interface objects;
- encode, for display on a client hardware computing device comprising an examinee client device or an examiner client device, a graphical user interface (GUI) comprising the first series of user interface objects, the second series of user interface objects, and the at least one visual indicator display object;
- decode, from the GUI, an electronic input from a user switching from the first series of user interface objects, displayed in association with the visual indicator display object, to the second series of user interface objects;
- and
- responsive to the electronic input failing to match a correct response associated in the database with a task data defining a function skill demonstrating a cognitive ability of a user:
- pause additional input into the GUI;
- update a content within the GUI to include:
- an identification of the electronic input as incorrect;
- a visual cue for the electronic input failing to match the correct response;
- and
- a last correct input from which to continue;
- transmit a real-time rendering of the GUI and the electronic input to the examiner client device for display on an examiner GUI;
- and
- display, on the examiner GUI an instruction for how to proceed.

- a last correct input from which to continue;
- transmit a real-time rendering of the GUI and the electronic input to the examiner client device for display on an examiner GUI;
- and
- display, on the examiner GUI an instruction for how to proceed.
