  • Patent number: 11210965
    Abstract: Techniques described herein relate to performing diagnostic analyses including execution and evaluations of visual-spatial diagnostic content resources. A store of visual-spatial diagnostic content resources may be analyzed to determine the presence or absence of predetermined visual features, and mathematical modeling and/or machine-learning techniques may be used to calculate item parameter metrics for each visual-spatial diagnostic content resource. Thereafter, diagnostic sessions may proceed by selecting and presenting sequences of visual-spatial diagnostic content resources within an appropriate range of difficulty metrics, depending on the content recipient and performance on the previously-transmitted visual-spatial diagnostic content resources.
