Abstract
A neurocognitive assessment device is provided including a library of computer implemented neurocognitive tests. Each neurocognitive test is provided with a performance module, an instruction module and a correction module. The performance module generates a plurality of stimuli on a computer screen to which a test subject is prompted to respond. If the test subject produces N consecutive incorrect responses, the correction module automatically interrupts the test operation and displays test instructions on screen.
Claims1
A neurocognitive testing device comprising:
- a performance module including program code instructions contained in a computer readable medium for administering a neurocognitive test including displaying stimuli on a computer screen and for receiving responses to the stimuli and generating test data based on the responses to stimuli;
- a correction module including program code instructions contained in a computer readable medium for monitoring the responses to the stimuli and interrupting administration of the neurocognitive test when the first N responses are incorrect, where N is positive integer;
- an instruction module including program code instructions contained in a computer readable medium for displaying instructions for responding to the stimuli on a screen responsive to interruption of administration of the neurocognitive test;
- and
- a neurocognitive statistical analysis module that displays test data such that the data may be interpreted by a clinician.
