The Trail Making Test is a neuropsychological test of visual attention and task switching. It has two parts, in which the subject is instructed to connect a set of 25 dots as quickly as possible while maintaining accuracy. [ 1 ]
The d2 Test of Attention is a neuropsychological measure of selective and sustained attention and visual scanning speed. [1] It is a paper and pencil test that asks participants to cross out any letter "d" with two marks around above it or below it in any order. [ 2 ]
The test may be presented as either a Visual or Auditory test, but both measure the same variables. During the first section of the test, the objective is to measure attention during a boring task.
