Area of Science:

  • Neuroscience
  • Educational Psychology
  • Assistive Technology

Background:

  • College student population with disabilities is growing rapidly.
  • Existing assistive technologies and screening tools lag behind student needs.
  • Mismatch between student disabilities and appropriate accommodations is common.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the Flanker Task as a screening tool for students with disabilities.
  • To determine if visual attention performance predicts benefit from accommodative technologies.
  • To address the need for efficient assessment in higher education.

Main Methods:

  • A 10-minute Flanker Task was administered to undergraduate psychology students with and without disabilities.
  • Experiments included controlled and noisy environments to assess environmental distraction effects.
  • Performance metrics (accuracy, reaction time) were analyzed for patterns in visual attention.

Main Results:

  • The Flanker Task effectively detected differences in visual attention between students with and without disabilities.
  • The task identified shifts in visual attention patterns within aggregated and disaggregated groups of students with disabilities.
  • Environmental noise impacted visual attention performance, highlighting the task's sensitivity.

Conclusions:

  • The Flanker Task is a promising, low-cost, and quick screening tool for matching students with disabilities to accommodative technologies.
  • This method can help institutions provide tailored support and assistive technologies.
  • Improved assessment can lead to better academic outcomes for students with disabilities.
