This study introduces a new web-based visual search test, offering an alternative to traditional cancellation tests. Pilot data indicate it can differentiate between healthy individuals and those with head injuries.

Area of Science:

  • Cognitive Psychology
  • Neuroscience
  • Human-Computer Interaction

Background:

  • Visual attention and search are crucial for daily functioning.
  • Existing visual search tests have limitations.
  • A novel web-based approach is needed for accessible assessment.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop and describe a novel web-based visual search test.
  • To provide an alternative to conventional cancellation tests.
  • To examine the initial validity of the new test.

Main Methods:

  • Development of a web-based visual search test.
  • Two pilot studies were conducted.
  • Validity was assessed by comparing performance between groups.
