Spelling

This task assesses the ability to spell words administered in a computer-adaptive test format. Respondents listen to audio that presents the word and its use in a sentence and then, using their phone keyboard, spell the word. Maximum number of words presented is 30. 

Shape-Color Sorting

This measure targets cognitive flexibility. Simple images are presented that vary along two dimensions (color and shape) and respondents are then given a prompt and asked to choose an image based on which one of the dimensions was prompted. 

Arranging Pictures

This measure examines episodic memory. A series of images is presented in a specific order on the screen. Following this presentation, the images are scrambled, and the respondent is asked to recall the original order and place the images accordingly. 

Number-Symbol Match

This measure assesses processing speed by asking respondents to match numbers with specific symbols using a digit/symbol key.  Respondents have 90 seconds to correctly match as many number-symbol pairs as they can.  

Faces and Names

This is a two-part test that targets associative memory function.  Respondents are first presented with an encoding task and then prompted to recall a series of face-name associations after a 5- to 20-minute delay.   

Word Meaning

This is a computer-adaptive test that measures general vocabulary knowledge. Respondents select the word or phrase from among five choices that most closely matches the meaning of a target word. Maximum number of words presented is 25.
