What Does Cognitive Testing Measure?
Digit Span
One at a time, a series of numbers are presented on the screen. Users then enter the numbers in the order they were seen. This task assesses short-term memory.
Feature Match
Participants are presented with two boxes, each containing various abstract shapes, and determine if the boxes are identical or not. This task measures the ability to sustain attention.
Grammatical Reasoning
In this task, participants determine whether information presented (a statement accompanied by a visual) is true or false This task measures the ability to understand and make the correct conclusion accurately – otherwise known as verbal reasoning ability.
Monkey Ladder
Boxes containing numbers appear in various places on the screen, and then disappear after a timed interval. Participants try to accurately recall which numbers appeared in which boxes, clicking on them in their order of numerical sequence.
