CAMCI®-Research
Psychology Software Tools
A Customizable Battery of Computerized Tasks to Assess Cognitive Performance
Computer Assessment of Memory and Cognitive Impairment(CAMCI)-Research is a customizable battery of computerized tasks to assess cognitive performance. Computer-administered and self-paced, this investigative tool allows researchers to arrange a protocol of tasks to collect accuracy and reaction time data for comparison to normative data. There are 9 behavioral tasks included in the complete CAMCI-Research battery. Additionally, a series of self-report questions may be presented to gain information from the participant regarding factors that could affect the participant’s performance on the CAMCI-Research tasks (e.g., perceived memory loss, alcohol use, depression, anxiety, etc.).

Additionally, a series of self-report questions may be presented to gain information from the patient regarding factors that could affect the patient’s performance on the CAMCI tasks (e.g., perceived memory loss, alcohol use, depression, anxiety, etc.).
CAMCI-Research accurately assesses cognitive performance using standard neuropsychological tests of memory, attention, and executive ability modified for computer administration. Plus – an innovative Virtual Environment task tests domains, such as incidental memory, not easily assessed using paper-pencil tests. Computer-administered tasks ensure standard administration and scoring, avoiding inter-site and inter-examiner variability.
The CAMCI-Research application allows the researcher to design protocols by selecting and arranging tasks to run from the battery provided. The researcher may define instructions to be presented to the examiner prior to or following a test session, or choose to present screens to welcome or dismiss the subject. Customization also allows the researcher to select events to assess the suitability of the computer’s timing for data collection and the accuracy of the input calibration, or to require a security pass code to limit the accessibility to reports after a test session is completed.
Results are available immediately following each test session, including comparison of task measures to age and/or education adjusted normative data. Performance on each CAMCI-Research task is recorded in trial-level and summary task-level data files to allow further, detailed analysis.
Intended Use
The CAMCI-Research product is for research, investigational, or educational use only. CAMCI does not offer a medical diagnosis.
