Sequential reasoning testing system and method

A system for testing a working memory and fluid reasoning of a subject, the system comprising:

• discrete representations of each of a first plurality of images, each image positioned in a different sector of a matrix, the first plurality of images totaling one fewer than a total number of sectors;
• an answer representation comprising a second plurality of images and the matrix, the matrix having sectors without images from the first plurality of images therein, one of the second plurality of images comprising a correct response image bearing an analogous relationship to the first plurality of images;
• and
• means for asking the subject to select an analogous image from the second plurality of images.

A system for testing a working memory of a subject, the system comprising:

• a processor;
• a display screen and an input device, each in electronic communication with the processor;
• and
• software means resident in the processor adapted to:
• display to a subject discrete representations of each of a first plurality of images on the screen, each image positioned in a different sector of a matrix, the first plurality of images totaling one fewer than a total number of sectors;
• display to the subject an answer representation comprising a second plurality of images and the matrix on the screen, the matrix having sectors without images from the first plurality of images therein, one of the second plurality of images comprising a correct response image bearing an analogous relationship to the first plurality of images;
• and
• ask the subject to select an analogous image from the second plurality of images;
• and
• receive from the subject a response via the input device.
