The Fine Motor Regulation scale
The Fine Motor Regulation scale provides
additional information by recording off-task behaviors with
the mouse — multiple clicks, spontaneous clicks during
instruction periods, anticipatory clicks, and holding the
mouse button down. In behavioral terms, the Fine Motor
Regulation score quantifies fidgetiness and restlessness
associated with small motor hyperactivity.
Sustained Attention Scales
The Sustained Attention Scales provide a global measures of
a person’s ability to respond accurately, quickly, and
reliably to auditory and visual stimuli under low demand
conditions. In addition, these scales assess the
test-taker’s ability to remain attentive and be flexible
when the conditions change from low to high demand.
IVA-AEs’ Symptomatic scales are auditory
and visual Comprehension, Persistence and Sensory/Motor.
-
Comprehension identifies random
responding by measuring idiopathic errors. Research has
shown this to be the single most sensitive sub-scale in
discriminating ADHD.
-
Stillness
is a measure of how frequently the client moves the
mouse during the main test section. Generally, these
responses reflect "playing" and "testing the limits" of
the mouse. No other CPT provides such a comprehensive
and objective measure of fine motor hyperactivity.
-
Sensory/Motor scales provide
a measure of reaction time speed to simple, singular test
stimuli (i.e., the "1"). These scales help screen for slow
reaction times which may impair test performance or possibly
indicate neurological, psychological or learning problems.
Taken together, the Attribute and
Symptomatic scales help the clinician to understand a
person’s best modality for learning, need for structure,
motivation level, comprehension, and possible learning,
emotional or neurological problems.
