Method of testing an infant and suitable device for implementing the test method

A method to test an infant aged from 0 to 6 months comprising a test phase (200, 300) comprising steps of:

• displaying a target (17, 18, 21) on a computer screen (14),
• detecting points of contact and instants of contact of the infant with the computer screen (14) inside and/or outside the target (17, 18, 21) using a processing module (11), wherein the points of contact and the instants of contact are recorded in a chronological order,
• after a contact between the infant and the computer screen (14) inside the target (21) is detected, shifting the target (21) on the computer screen from a position (Pi) to a following position (Pi+1) according to a predetermined sequence of positions,
• calculating, using the processing module (11), a success parameter as a function of the points of contact and/or the instants of contact detected, and
• recording the calculated success parameter in a computer memory (12),
• wherein the calculated success parameter comprises at least one of:
• a distance between a point of contact of the infant with the computer screen (14) and a position of the target (17, 18, 21) displayed on the computer screen (14);
• a duration between two successive instants of contact of the infant with the computer screen (14) inside and/or outside the target (17, 18, 21);
• a success rate equal to the ratio between a number of contacts inside the target (17, 18, 21) and a number of contacts outside the target (17, 18, 21);
• and
• a success rate equal to the ratio between a number of contacts inside the target (17, 18, 21) and a total duration of the test.
