These very short tests can be used to familiarise subjects with the general idea of responding in a task by touching the screen. They can also be regarded as warm-up tasks, getting the subject used to the general testing situation.
Motor Screening
(MOT)
Overview
The Motor Screening test is typically administered
at the beginning of a test battery, and serves as
a simple introduction to the touch screen for the
subject. If a subject is unable to comply with the
simple requirements of this test it is unlikely
that they will be able to complete other tests successfully.
This test therefore screens for visual, movement
and comprehension difficulties.
Task
Subjects must touch the flashing cross which is
shown in different locations on the screen.
Test modes
One mode – clinical.
Outcome measures
This test has two outcome measures which measure
the subject's speed of response and the accuracy
of the subject's pointing.
Big/Little
Circle (BLC)
Overview
The Big/Little Circle test assesses comprehension,
learning and reversal. It is also intended to train
subjects in the general idea of following and reversing
a rule, before proceeding to the Intra/Extradimensional
Shift test (IED) , so should ideally precede
the IED task in a battery.
