  • Patent number: 11961416
    Abstract: Systems and processes are provided for analyzing a test taker's knowledge, skills, and cognitive function. The systems and processes include smart questions (i.e., SmartItems) programmed with coded variables, or for multiple choice varieties, variable sets of options to cover an entire skill set being tested. The systems and processes generate questions in real time during administration of the test, by formulating and displaying, to a test taker, random combinations of a question stem and randomly-selected question components. This smart question content is unpredictably and randomly presented, as representations of the skill to be tested. The systems and processes analyze the test taker's knowledge, skills, and cognitive function about the entire domain of the skill, rather than a single fact. The systems and processes provide security to test administration.

  • Patent number: 11961412
    Abstract: Disclosed herein are systems and methods for providing feeding reinforcement in real-time or near real-time based on physiological sensor data acquired during feeding. In some examples, music reinforcement is rendered when one or more feeding features indicative of one or more feeding behaviors are detected using the physiological sensor data. When at least one feature is not detected, the music reinforcement is stopped. In this way, contingent reinforcement is provided in real-time or near real-time based on detection of the one or more feeding behaviors to encourage and improve independent feeding behavior.

  • Patent number: 11948475
    Abstract: A system and method for training a student employ a simulation station that displays output to the student and receives input. The computer system has a rules engine operating on it and computer accessible data storage storing (i) learning object data including learning objects configured to provide interaction with the student at the simulation system and (ii) rule data defining a plurality of rules accessed by the rules engine. The rules data includes, for each rule, respective (a) if-portion data defining a condition of data and (b) then-portion data defining an action to be performed at the simulation station. The rules engine causes the computer system to perform the action when the condition of data is present in the data storage. For at least some of the rules, the action comprises output of one of the learning objects so as to interact with the student. The system may be networked with middleware and adapters that map data received over the network to rules engine memory.
