Onsite Tests Subtests
Onsite tests are conducted in controlled environments, perfect for detailed and sensitive assessments. The following are the subtests we conduct in our lab settings:
- Auditory Forward Digit Span Test: The lab version of the auditory digit span test, crucial for evaluating auditory memory capabilities.
- Visual Forward Digit Span Test: Onsite version of the visual memory span test, assessing visual short-term memory.
- N-Back Test: A versatile test for working memory, adapted for detailed onsite analysis.
- Visual Backward Digit Span Test: A more challenging version of the digit span test requiring reverse sequence recall.
- Auditory Backward Digit Span Test: Tests auditory working memory by recalling auditory sequences in reverse.
- Spectral Ripple Test: Evaluates spectral resolution, an essential aspect of auditory perception.
- Consonant Recognition Test in Noise: Measures speech recognition abilities in noisy environments, assessing auditory discrimination.
- Clinical Assessment of Music Perception (CAMP): A specialized test for assessing musical perception, developed with Matlab.
- TMTF (Temporal Modulation Transfer Function): Investigates temporal resolution, vital for understanding speech and music perception.
- Stroop Test: The classic Stroop test adapted for onsite testing, evaluating cognitive flexibility and attention.
- Simple Reaction Time Test: Participants respond to colored circles by pressing designated keys, measuring reaction times.
- Operation Span Test: Combines working memory tasks with simple mathematical verification for a dual-task challenge.
- Symmetry Span Test: Assesses working memory using symmetry judgment tasks interspersed with spatial span tasks.
- Color Change Detection Test and Visual Array Test: Evaluate visual working memory and attention through changes in color or array patterns.
- Auditory Adjustment/Recreation Test: Measures the ability to match or recreate sounds, testing auditory discrimination.
- Multiple Object Tracking Test: Tests visual attention and working memory by tracking moving objects on screen.
- Auditory N-Back Test: Auditory version of the N-back test, using sounds instead of visual stimuli.
- Finger Tapping Test: Assesses fine motor speed through rapid tapping.
- Attentional Shifting Test: Measures the ability to shift attention between different stimuli based on changing rules.
- Speech in Noise Tests:Evaluates a participant's ability to recognize and understand speech in noisy environments. These tests are crucial for assessing auditory processing capabilities, especially in real-world scenarios where background noise is present. Participants are typically required to listen to spoken words or sentences and repeat them or identify them correctly while background noise is varied in volume and type. This test is particularly valuable for research involving hearing aids and cochlear implants.
