 Fixed Response Mapping Task

Administration Time (in healthy volunteers): 10 seconds

Cognitive Domain Usually Measured: N/A

Task Description:

The Fixed Response Mapping Task does not have any outcome measures - it is simply a quick task that gets familiarizes users with the buttons needed for CogState's card-based tasks. It is always presented just before the first card task.

The pre-task on-screen instructions displays: "Practice pressing YES and NO"

Depending on the test battery, the choices may include the "D" or "K" buttons on the keyboard, the "left" or "right" mouse buttons, or external response buttons.

Once the subject presses the "D" button, the "left" mouse button or the left external response button, the word "NO" on the screen will flash indicating the key pressed corresponds to a "NO" response. When the subject presses the "K" button, the "right' mouse button or the right external response button, the word "YES" on the screen will flash, indicating the key pressed corresponds to a "YES" response. The subject is allowed to practice until they are confident before moving on to the card task by pressing the "ENTER".
