The subject is visually presented with six geometric figures arrayed in a 3 x 2 matrix for 10 seconds, after which the subject must reproduce (draw) as many of the figures as possible, in the same location as they appeared in the matrix. There is no time limit for recall. The subject is then asked to complete two additional learning trials using the same matrix of stimuli. After approximately 20 minutes containing other, mostly verbal assessments, the subject is asked to reproduce the figures again. Following this delayed recall trial, the subject is then presented with a series of 12 figures (the 6 original and 6 distractors) one at a time, and asked to respond “Yes” if the figure was in the original set, or “No” if it was not.
nidm:VisualFiguralLearningTest is a prov:'Entity'.

that he or she believes would be a correct strategy. The examiner provides feedback on whether the chosen strategy was correct or incorrect. The examiner changes the sorting strategy throughout the test. Some common measurements regarding the examinee=s sorting strategy include: number of categories completed, perseverative responses, perseverative errors, nonperseverative errors, and failure to maintain set.

neuro:instrument-based-assessment
neuro:instrument-based-assessment: An INSTRUMENT-BASED ASSESSMENT is a SUBJECT DATA ACQUISITION that captures some required information concerning the subject and involves the integration of data from instruments: TEST(-INSTRUMENTS) and/or QUESTIONNAIRES. When the purpose of the patient's examination is the assessment of her/his behavior, the examiner uses questionnaires rather than tests to rate the level of intensity/severity of a behavioral trait. Then, the appropriate action is a BEHAVIOURAL INTERVIEW rather than a BEHAVIOURAL TEST which is less adapted.
INSTRUMENT-BASED ASSESSMENTS are divided among TEST-BASED ASSESSMENTS and QUESTIONNAIRE-BASED ASSESSMENTS according to the kind of instrument which is administrated and therefore to the specific roles played by the subject and the healthcare professional in the assessment.
neuro:instrument-based-assessment is a nidm:Acquisition and has the following children: neuro:questionnaire-based-assessment, neuro:test-based-assessment.

neuro:questionnaire-based-assessment: A Questionnaire-based assessment is an Instrument-based assessment which involves the integration of data from questionnaires. A questionnaire-based assessment involves sets of questions (items), carried out in a structured way (known as structured interview) or semi-structured way, to provide normative data. Interview-based measures and rating scales are designed to be completed by clinicians, subjects, parents, caregivers. The scoring of each item contributes to the measure of the explored domain (e.g. Depression).
“A directed conversation with the subject aimed at eliciting information for psychiatric diagnosis, evaluation, treatment planning, etc. The interview may be conducted by a social worker or psychologist.” (Source: MSH/MH). (Concept: [CUI C0021819] Interview, Psychological, Semantic Type: Diagnostic Procedure).
QUESTIONNAIRE-BASED ASSESSMENTS are divided among PSYCHOLOGICAL INTERVIEWS, BEHAVIOURAL INTERVIEWS, and NEUROCLINICAL INTERVIEWS according to the kind of questionnaire that is used.
neuro:questionnaire-based-assessment is a prov:Activity and has the following children: neuro:behavioural-interview, neuro:neuroclinical-interview, neuro:psychological-interview.
neuro:behavioural-interview
neuro:behavioural-interview: A behavioural interview is a Questionnaire-based assessment carried out during a behavioral examination.
neuro:behavioural-interview is a prov:Activity.
neuro:neuroclinical-interview
neuro:neuroclinical-interview: A neuroclinical interview is a Questionnaire-based assessment carried out during a neurological examination.
neuro:neuroclinical-interview is a prov:Activity.
neuro:psychological-interview
neuro:psychological-interview: A psychological interview is a Questionnaire-based assessment carried out during a psychological examination.
neuro:psychological-interview is a prov:Activity.
neuro:test-based-assessment
neuro:test-based-assessment: A Test-based assessment is an Instrument-based assessment which involves the integration of data from tests. A Test-based assessment is conducted as a formal testing session to provide normative data.
TEST-BASED ASSESSMENTS are divided among PSYCHOLOGICAL TESTS, BEHAVIOURAL TESTS and NEUROCLINICAL TESTS according to the kind of instrument that is used.
neuro:test-based-assessment is a prov:Activity and has the following children: neuro:behavioural-test, neuro:neuroclinical-test, neuro:psychological-test.
neuro:behavioural-test
neuro:behavioural-test:
neuro:behavioural-test is a prov:Activity.
neuro:neuroclinical-test
neuro:neuroclinical-test: “The Neuroclinical examination (Neurological test) is the usual clinical approach to the study of the brain functions. The Neurological test includes extensive study of the brain's chief product-behavior. [...] The neurologist examines the strength, efficiency, reactivity, and appropriateness of the patient's responses to commands, questions, discrete stimulation of particular neural subsystems, and challenges to specific muscle groups and motor patterns. […] In the neurological examination of behavior, the clinician reviews behavior patterns generated by neuroanatomical subsystems, measuring patients' responses in relatively coarse graduations or nothing their absence" (Lezak et al., 2004).
neuro:neuroclinical-test is a prov:Activity.
neuro:psychological-test
neuro:psychological-test: "[…] psychological assessment […] involves the intensive study of behavior by means of interviews and standardized scaled tests and questionnaires that provide relatively precise and sensitive indices of behaviour." (Lezak et al., 2004).
PSYCHOLOGICAL TESTS are divided among NEUROPSYCHOLOGICAL TESTS and EXPERIMENTAL PSYCHOLOGY TESTS according to the kind of instrument that is used.
neuro:psychological-test is a prov:Activity and has the following children: neuro:experimental-psychology-test, neuro:neuropsychological-test.
neuro:experimental-psychology-test
neuro:experimental-psychology-test:
neuro:experimental-psychology-test is and has the following child: neuro:psychophysical-test.
neuro:psychophysical-test
neuro:neuropsychological-test
neuro:neuropsychological-test: "Neuropsychological assessment is a method of examining the brain by studying its behavioural product. Since the subject matter of neuropsychological assessment is behavior, it relies on many of the same techniques, assumptions, and theories as does psychological assessment. The distinctive character of neuropsychological assessment lies in a conceptual frame of reference that takes brain function as its point of departure. Regardless of whether a behavioral study is undertaken for clinical or research purposes, it is neuropsychological so long as the questions that prompted it, the central issues, the findings, or the inferences drawn from them ultimately relate to brain function" (Lezak et al., 2004).
neuro:variable-assessment
neuro:variable-assessment: A variable assessment is an activity that results in a value assigned to a specific item on an assessment instrument question or test.
neuro:variable-assessment is a nidm:Acquisition and has the following children: neuro:coded-variable-assessment, neuro:numerical-variable-assessment.
neuro:coded-variable-assessment
neuro:coded-variable-assessment:
neuro:coded-variable-assessment is a prov:Activity.
neuro:numerical-variable-assessment
neuro:numerical-variable-assessment:
neuro:numerical-variable-assessment is a prov:Activity.
nidm:'Demographics Acquisition Object'
nidm:'Demographics Acquisition Object': A demographics acquisition object is an entity that represents the demographics information acquired from a person in the subject role.
nidm:'Demographics Acquisition Object' is a nidm:'Acquisition Object'.
nidm:'fMRI Design Type'
nidm:'fMRI Design Type': The type of stimulus presentation used in the data acquisition, one of block-based design, event-related design or mixed design.
Examples of nidm:'fMRI Design Type' includes - nidm:'Block-Based Design': An fMRI design comprised of epochs of stimulus and/or behavior.
- nidm:'Event-Related Design': An fMRI design comprised of discrete events of stimulus and/or behavior.
- nidm:'Mixed Design': An fMRI design comprised of both epochs & discrete events of stimulus and/or behavior.
