Learn About The Assessments
Immediate & Delayed Recognition
Measures an individual’s ability to correctly recognize words in the presence of distractors, screening for deficits in memory.
How It Works
First, immediate recognition displays 10 words one at a time and then proceeds to the next screen. The participant is then shown either a distractor word or a target word (20 trials) and must decide if that word was present in the original 10 words shown by selecting Yes or No. After completing 3 other assessments (~ 10 minutes), participants are again presented with either a distracted word or a target word and asked whether each word was present in the original word list without seeing the list again.
Trail Making Test
Measures visual attention and mental flexibility through an assessment consisting of two parts.
How It Works
Participants are instructed to connect a set of 25 dots in the correct order. The test provides information about visual search speed, scanning, speed of processing, mental flexibility, and executive functioning. Part A (numerical) uses numbers 1 through 25, while Part B (alphanumerical), employs alternating letters and numbers (1 – A – 2 – B – 3 – C …). Trail Making Part B is only available if Part A is passed.
Stroop Color & Word
Measures reaction time required to overcome cognitive interference.
How It Works
Participants are provided a target word—either red, blue, green, pink, purple, or orange. Below the target word is an array of a mix of these different words. Participants are to find and tap the word in the array that matches the target word. There are three types of trials: NEUTRAL in which the font color is black for all words, CONGRUENT where font colors match the word (e.g., the word RED presented in red font), and INCONGRUENT where font colors are mismatched (e.g., the word RED presented in green font).
Digit Symbol Substitution
Measures processing speed and executive function.
How It Works
Participants must match an arbitrary correspondence of symbols to digits; when presented with a new symbol, they input the corresponding digit. This is a continuous performance task in which the participant must make as many correct matches as possible within a one minute test period.
Flanker
How It Works
Balance & Coordination
Measures static and dynamic balance.
How It Works
Progressive Matrices
How It Works
Participants may take the battery on an iPhone, iPad or a web browser. Each assessment walks the user through each test prompting with directions and an interactive practice demonstration that may be re-done until the test taker understands the task to complete. Correctness and/or response time are automatically captured by the system for all test trials. Researchers will be able to access both the raw data and scores of assessments.
BrainCheck® Toolkit also allows the researcher to access digital copies of many publicly-available behavioral, psychological, and somatic screeners. The available screeners include but not limited to PHQ9, GAD7, GDS, Short IQCODE Test, Clock Drawing Test, SLUMS, Posttraumatic Stress Disorder Checklist for DSM-5 (PCL-5), Perceived Stress Scale (PSS), Dizziness Handicap Inventory (DHI), Convergence Insufficiency Symptom Survey (CISS), Opioid Use, ADHD Symptom Screener, Katz Index of Independence in Activities of Daily Living.
