  • Patent number: 8696360
    Abstract: The current application is directed to developing and administering subject-appropriate ITAs. The various to developing and administering subject-appropriate ITAs evaluate many aspects of ITA content, content presentation, and administration with regard to particular categories of test subjects in order to develop subject-appropriate ITAs (“SAITAs”) and to administer SAITAs appropriately to the categories of test subjects for which the tests are developed. Aspects of SAITA presentation and administration that are evaluated include input devices, presentation formats, presentation language, presentation media, colors used in presentation of tutorials and stimuli, words, pictures, and symbols used in a presentation of tutorials and stimuli, the pace and length of various portions of SAITAs, human vs. computer administration of SAITAs, presentation of feedback to test subjects during SAITAs, ITAs and many other aspects of ITA content, content presentation, and administration.

  • Publication number: 20130302773
    Abstract: The methods and systems described herein enable the administration of Implicit Association Tests (IATs) without the use of “self-concept” or “self-report.” An example method involves a computing system providing a visual indication of categories including (i) a user-associated-objects category (ii) a user-unassociated-objects category, (iii) a positivevalence-objects category, and (iv) a negative-valence-objects category. The categories are grouped into a first group and a second group. The computing system provides an indication of a stimulus. The stimulus may be associated with at least one of the categories. The computing system may then receive input data indicating a correct classification of the stimulus with one of the first group and the second group. Ultimately, the computing system determines an amount of time elapsed between providing the indication of the stimulus and receiving the input data indicating the correct classification of the stimulus with one of the first group and the second group.
