Trial Outcomes

CANTAB:CAmbridge Neuropsychological Test Automated Battery RVIP: Rapid Visual Information Processing

"CANTAB RVIP is one component of this computerized battery and is a measure of sustained attention with a working memory component.~This study used two subscales of the RVIP.~RVP A' ( Target sensitivity, a measure of the ability to detect sequences.) The range is from 0-1; bad to good.~RVP B'' ( Response bias, which is a measure of the tendency to respond regardless of whether a target is present.~The range is from -1 to +1 ; bad to good~The numbers represent probabilities as units on a scale." (NCT00842985)
Timeframe: Once for each test session (4 total).
