CANTAB® Tests

The CANTAB® tests are simple: computerised, non-linguistic, and culturally blind. They can be administered by a trained assistant. Importantly, interpretation of a patient’s condition can be easily understood by a clinician. Below is a complete list of all our tests. Click on any of the tests for more information on it.

Induction

These very short tests can be used to familiarise participants with the general idea of responding in a task by touching the screen. They can also be regarded as warm-up tasks, getting the participant used to the general testing situation.

Big/Little Circle (BLC)

Motor Screening Task (MOT)

Visual Memory

These tests allow investigation of visual and spatial aspects of memory.

Delayed Matching to Sample (DMS)

Paired Associates Learning (PAL)

Pattern Recognition Memory (PRM)

Spatial Recognition Memory (SRM)

Executive Function

These tests address executive function, working memory, and planning; all associated with the frontal area of the brain.

Attention Switching Task (AST)

Intra-Extra Dimensional Set Shift (IED)

One Touch Stockings of Cambridge (OTS)

Spatial Span (SSP)

Spatial Working Memory (SWM)

Stockings of Cambridge (SOC)

Attention

These tests measure different aspects of attention and reaction time, including sustained attention and vigilance.

Choice Reaction Time (CRT)

Match to Sample Visual Search (MTS)

Rapid Visual Information Processing (RVP)

Reaction Time (RTI)

Simple Reaction Time (SRT)

Semantic/Verbal Memory

These tests, which address semantic and/or verbal memory, are relatively recent additions to the CANTAB battery.

Graded Naming Test (GNT)

Verbal Recognition Memory (VRM)

Decision Making and Response Control

These tests add another dimension to cognitive profiling and investigation of frontal lobe function. Most decisions in life have an emotional or risk related component, and many clinical conditions are associated with inappropriate risk models/strategies.

Affective Go/No-go (AGN)

Cambridge Gambling Task (CGT)

Information Sampling Task (IST)

Stop Signal Task (SST)

Social Cognition

A range of disorders are known to affect social cognition and there is an expanding research field examining how such conditions may bias cognitive processes involved in social interaction. Emotion Recognition Task (ERT)

Emotion Recognition Task (ERT)

Visual Analogue Scales (VAS)
