An open-source suite of computerised cognitive-assessment tasks for researchers, built on Java and Tatool.
Visit live site → www.cognitivetools.uk/cognition/Commercial cognitive-testing software was limited and inflexible. Researchers who needed a different protocol, or to change task parameters, were stuck with whatever the vendor shipped.
Built a cross-platform suite of computerised cognitive tasks in Java on the open-source Tatool framework (Windows, Mac, Linux), with modifiable parameters and downloadable source. It spans a working-memory battery (Digit, Operation, Reading, Matrix, Arrow, Rotation and Symmetry Span, Colour Corsi, Spatial and Dual N-Back), processing-speed measures (Inspection Time, Odd Man Out), and further tasks (Free Recall, Mental Arithmetic, and more).
A free, customisable and peer-review-validated toolkit used by academic researchers, shipped with published validation and data-analysis tutorials.
