Abstract:
A computerized system designed as a professional tool to administer psychological and neuropsychological tests to human subjects using multimedia technology to present and collect audiovisual and graphomotor response data, and continuously accumulate normative and clinical data in a centralized database that is remotely accessible via the internet. A set of integrated hardware and software components utilize the internet for data transfer and access. Local testing modules administer tests to subjects with minimal examiner involvement, use audiovisual test presentation, and collect response data that includes audiovisual, graphic and touch responses. The local testing modules are remotely connected to a centralized data bank that stores and accumulates subject data, and can be remotely accessible for clinical comparison of individual subjects for diagnostic purposes, or for group analyses for research purposes. Test administration and database software are a part of the system. The system is expandable to incorporate additional local test software. Available technology is integrated to improve the testing methodology, data collection, assessment throughput, normative data availability, normative and clinical database expandability, and potential for diverse and creative data analysis.
