Motor Learning

Search Efficiency

• Overview: A number of shapes will appear on the screen and you must quickly detect if the “orange triangle” is present by hitting the right button or not present by hitting the left button. Once a selection has been made, a new array of shapes will appear to search and detect again. The goal is to be as fast and accurate as possible. 

Distraction Control

• Overview: Five arrows will be presented in a line in the middle of the screen. The objective is to identify which direction the middle arrow is pointing as quickly and as accurately as possible.

If the ball is yellow respond by choosing the button that indicates same the direction that the ball moves. If the yellow ball moves right, respond by pressing the right button; if the yellow ball moves left, respond by pressing the left button. If the ball is purple, respond by pressing the button that indicates the opposite direction that the ball moves. If the purple ball moves left, respond by pressing the right button; if the purple ball moves right, respond by pressing the left button. The goal is to respond as quickly and as accurately as possible. 

Spatial Memory

• Overview: 10 squares (5 blue, 5 orange) will appear on the screen for a short period of time and then will disappear. A grid will appear, the person must recall where the 5 blue squares would be on the grid by choosing the squares that they think they should be. 

Stopping Control
