Patent number: 11263914Abstract: Systems and methods of the present invention provide for generating a first, second, and third series of interface objects comprising a first and second sequence respectively, displayed on a graphical user interface (GUI). At least one visual indicator display object is also displayed that requires a switch between the first and second series of user interface objects. A user navigates through the first and second series of interface objects, including the visual indicator display object(s), and a score for the user is calculated according to a user input matching, or failing to match, a correct response associated with a task data defining a function skill demonstrating a cognitive ability of the user.Type: GrantFiled: April 17, 2020Date of Patent: March 1, 2022Assignee: PEARSON EDUCATION, INC.Inventors: Dean Delis, Lisa Whipple Drozdick, James Holdnack

Patent number: 11006294Abstract: Techniques described herein relate to performing wireless diagnostic analyses including execution and evaluations of interactive content resources executed by execution devices on and/or for separate content receiver devices. A multi-phrase diagnostic session may proceed with an execution of an initial set of diagnostic modules on an execution device, during which interactive content is transmitted/received from a connected receiver device. The results of the diagnostic modules may be evaluated in real-time and transmitted to a diagnostic analyzer server to select additional diagnostic modules for execution during the diagnostic session. The diagnostic analyzer server may select the additional diagnostic modules based on based on response data received via the content execution device to the interactive content of the previously executed diagnostic modules, and/or data received from additional data sources related to the content receiver.Type: GrantFiled: January 27, 2020Date of Patent: May 11, 2021Assignee: PEARSON EDUCATION, INC.Inventors: Dustin B. Wahlstrom, Kristina Breaux, James Holdnack, Lawrence G. Weiss

Publication number: 20080306349Abstract: A neuropsychological assessment of visual working memory includes a first display having a first set of distinct abstract elements positioned in a first order. A second display includes a second set of distinct abstract symbols positioned in a second order. The second set includes all the abstract elements of the first set plus at least one additional distinct abstract element not present in the first set. The first display is shown to an examinee. The examinee is asked to view the first display and to note the abstract elements in the first set and the first order thereof. The examinee is instructed to view the second display and to indicate, with reference to the second set, a location of each of the abstract elements present in the first set, in the first order.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 8, 2007Publication date: December 11, 2008Applicant: HARCOURT ASSESSMENT, INC.Inventors: Lisa W.

Patent number: 7303399Abstract: An assessment of a subject's inhibitory control is provided that can be administered from an early age. Such skills can be used to predict early school adjustment and readiness. The test may also be used for nonreaders and students in special education, and in children down to the age of 5. The assessment tests for the ability to override an automatic response of naming colors and shapes. Each item in the assessment is administered by asking the subject to, for example, say “square” when looking at a circle.Type: GrantFiled: September 23, 2005Date of Patent: December 4, 2007Assignee: Harcourt Assessment, Inc.Inventor: James A.

Patent number: 7229287Abstract: A neuropsychological assessment includes cards having a first indicium on a top face and an index indicium on a bottom face. A display includes an arrangement of images, each image corresponding to one of the first indicia, the image number fewer than or equal to the card number. A receptacle has depressions for holding a card, each having an aperture therethrough positioned commensurate with the index indicium's location. At least some of the depressions are positioned analogously to the display arrangement. A trial is administered by revealing the display to an examinee. The display is removed from examinee view, and the examinee is instructed to reproduce the arrangement of the images by selecting a card having a first indicium corresponding to an image and placing the selected card within a selected depression on the receptacle in a position that corresponds to a position of the corresponding image on the display.Type: GrantFiled: April 28, 2005Date of Patent: June 12, 2007Assignee: Harcourt Assessment, Inc.Inventors: Andre C.
