2015
Children who have complex communication needs can benefit from the use of a speech-generating device (SGD). Cognitive skills were identified as having an impact on the ability to navigate between levels of SGDs. This protocol describes the steps needed for Speech-language Pathologists to assess cognitive skills and navigational abilities.

RBDT: A Computerized Task System based in Transposition for the Continuous Analysis of Relational Behavior Dynamics in Humans

2021
RBDT integrates behavioral patterns based on discrete responses (e.g., stimuli selection, placement of figures) and continuous responses (e.g., tracking of cursor movements, figure dragging) to study relational behavior with humans. RBDT is a challenging task based on transposition, in which the participant sets up stimuli compounds with a relational criterion (more/less than).

Piaget's Conservation Task and the Influence of Task Demands
0 Views •
2023
Source: Laboratories of Judith Danovitch and Nicholaus Noles—University of Louisville Jean Piaget was a pioneer in the field of developmental psychology, and his theory of cognitive development is one of the most well-known psychological theories. At the heart of Piaget’s theory is the idea that children’s ways of thinking change over the course of childhood. Piaget provided evidence for these changes by comparing how children of different ages responded to questions and problems that he...

Computerized Dynamic Posturography for Postural Control Assessment in Patients with Intermittent Claudication

2013
Individuals with intermittent claudication exhibit poor balance compared to healthy controls. Computerized dynamic posturography is an objective method for measuring an individual's postural responses to balance disturbances. This provides an objective reflection of the person’s ability to respond to situations under which sensory stimuli are altered and unexpected perturbations occur.
FAQs
Precise timing controls when stimuli appear and how long participants have to respond, making performance easier to compare across trials and individuals. Randomizing trial order reduces the influence of a fixed sequence, while standardized instructions keep task demands consistent. Together, these controls help researchers attribute differences in accuracy, reaction time, or response choice to the processes under study.
Common outputs include accuracy, reaction time, response choice, and performance across repeated trials. Accuracy indicates whether participants produce the expected response, whereas reaction time captures how quickly they respond. Response patterns and changes over trials can help researchers examine cognitive processes associated with attention, memory, perception, decision-making, learning, or executive function.
Repeated trials provide multiple observations of the same participant’s performance rather than relying on a single response. This structure allows researchers to examine consistency, compare changes across trials, and calculate organized behavioral outcomes such as accuracy or reaction time. It also supports comparisons among participants by providing a common set of measured opportunities.
The researcher establishes the stimuli, instructions, timing, and trial sequence that participants will experience. Trial order may be randomized, and the program is set to record responses such as accuracy, reaction time, or response choice. After data collection, these structured records can be examined across trials and participants to evaluate the targeted psychological process.
Psychologists can use this approach when they need standardized assessment of attention, memory, perception, decision-making, learning, or executive function. Its controlled presentation and automated recording are especially relevant when comparing participants or examining performance across repeated trials. The resulting data can support studies of development, mental health, and broader patterns of human behavior.
Structured behavioral data allow researchers to compare performance across participants and identify patterns linked to cognitive processes. Measures such as accuracy, reaction time, response choice, and performance across trials can provide evidence about how people attend, remember, decide, or learn. In psychology, these comparisons contribute to research on development, mental health, and human behavior without relying on unstructured observations alone.
