Applications of Technology in Neuropsychological Assessment

5 important questions on Applications of Technology in Neuropsychological Assessment

What is a computer based assessment?

  • An assessment that utilizes a computer or other digital device instead of a human to test, score, or interpret brain functions and related factors. 

What is adaptive testing?

  • computer selects following test, based on the performance on previous tests.
  • allows for more precise assessment and reducing administration time
  • These algorithms can be used to increase sensitivity by targeting halmark symptoms.

Differences between VR and traditional tests

  • WCST poorer performance in VR, but subjects enjoyed the task more
  • real world distractions in VR may improve ecological validity because they better represent cognitive performance in the real world


[Traditional tasks converted to VR may not test the same functions]
  • Higher grades + faster learning
  • Never study anything twice
  • 100% sure, 100% understanding

Are cognitive performances affected by external stimuli?

  • is a test in a distraction free environment a representation of the abilities in the real world?
  • There is a difference in performance in VR for distraction free and distractive environments.
  • distractive environments may improve ecological validity
  • distractions may improve the understanding of cognition in the real world
  • Distraction may be used to gather data for attentional lapses and distractibility
  • VR for attention better classified children with ADHD
