Development of a Neurocognitive Screening Test

September 27, 2023 updated by: ImPACT Applications, Inc.

This research study will evaluate a standalone software application and is designed to standardize and validate new neurocognitive screening testing for children aged 6 through 11, and adolescents and adults ages 12 through 75.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate recently developed computerized tasks sensitive to changes in neurocognitive performance after a concussion. These tests were designed to help measure the effects of concussion on cognitive processes (e.g., memory, attention, brain speed) and visual functioning.
