ABSTRACT:
A system for assessing subjects for inadequate visual attention capabilities presents a sequence of display screens to the subject on a conventional computer monitor. The display screens include a foveal target and a peripheral target, and may additionally include distractor elements around the peripheral target. The display time for the displays is varied either as a function of the responses of the subject or in a preprogrammed manner. The responses are evaluated for accuracy, and are then used to generate a measurement which is used to assess the subject for adequate visual attention capabilities.
