Development of a Neurocognitive Screening Test

Development of a Neurocognitive Screening Test

This research study will evaluate a standalone software application and is designed to standardize and validate new neurocognitive screening testing for children aged 6 through 11, and adolescents and adults ages 12 through 75.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate recently developed computerized tasks sensitive to changes in neurocognitive performance after a concussion. These tests were designed to help measure the effects of concussion on cognitive processes (e.g., memory, attention, brain speed) and visual functioning.

Inclusion Criteria:

• Age: 12-75 (Adult version), 6-11 (pediatric version)
• Primary English speaking or fluent in English.
• No known special education diagnosis excluding a 504 designation.
• Currently not suffering from a concussion or being treated for a concussion.*
• No known physical or psychological impairment that would affect their ability to perform the test.

Exclusion Criteria:

• Documentation of a known special education diagnosis other than a 504 designation.

• English is not their primary language nor are they proficient in the English language.

• Currently suffering from a concussion or being treated for a concussion.*

• Any known physical or psychological impairment that would affect their ability to perform the test.

  • Note: Unless specifically required by the particular study (i.e., a discriminant validity study differentiating concussed versus non-concussed individuals).
