CANTAB - Pattern Recognition

Basic Characteristics

• Description

The CANTAB (Cambridge Neuropstchological Test Automated Batter) Pattern recognition test is a two choice forced discrimination paradigm. Participants are presented with twelve visual patterns (one at a time) in the center of a screen. The patterns are designed so that they may not easily be given verbal labels. During the recognition phase participants are required to choose between a pattern already seen and a new pattern. In this phase, test patterns are presented in revrse to the original order of the presentation. Next, twelve new patterns are presented during the second recognition phase. The second phase can be given immediately or after a 20 minute delay. Each phase takes approximately 5 minutes to complete. There are three outcome measures: number and percentage of correct trials, and latency. This is a general test of visual pattern recognition memory.
