The NASA Task Load Index (NASA-TLX) is a widely used, [1] subjective, multidimensional assessment tool that rates perceived workload in order to assess a task, system, or team's effectiveness or other aspects of performance (task loading).
John Bissell Carroll (June 5, 1916 – July 1, 2003) was an American psychologist known for his contributions to psychology, [1] linguistics [2] and psychometrics. [ 3 ] Early life and education
Fugl-Meyer Assessment (FMA) scale is an index to assess the sensorimotor impairment in individuals who have had stroke. [1] This scale was first proposed by Axel Fugl-Meyer and his colleagues as a standardized assessment test for post-stroke recovery in their paper titled The post-stroke hemiplegic patient: A method for evaluation of physical performance.
The D-KEFS offers a comprehensive portrayal of individual's EF skills, and the complexity of these tasks make them sensitive to the detection of even mild brain damage. [3] In 2009, an abbreviated form of the D-KEFS was included in the Advanced Clinical Solutions (ACS) for the WAIS-IV and WMS-IV (published by Pearson/PsychCorp).
The test consists of two boards with pegs and several beads with different colors. The examiner (usually a clinical psychologist or a neuropsychologist) presents the examinee with problem-solving tasks: one board shows the goal arrangement of beads, and the other board is given to the examinee with the beads in a different configuration.
Just as with the Eriksen Flanker Task, the response time and accuracy of congruent words is better than those of incongruent words. [8] The third task that is largely focused on is the Simon or spatial compatibility task. In this task, the stimulus, either a word, letter, or symbol, is shown on the right or left side of the computer screen.
Performance in verbal fluency tests show a number of consistent characteristics in both children and adults: [13] [6] [14] A declining rate of production of new items over the duration of the task, which was long discussed as following either an exponential [15] or a hyperbolic [16] time course, [7] which finally could be shown to be special cases of a unifying power function (the fused ...
The original setup for the task was: The child who is seated at a table where a model of three mountains is presented in front. The mountains were of different sizes, and they had different identifiers (one mountain had snow; one had a red cross on top; one had a hut on top). [3] The child was allowed to do a 360 surveillance of the model.
