The Cambridge Neuropsychological Test Automated Battery (CANTAB), including:
- general memory and learning,
- executive function,
- visual memory,
- reaction time(RT),
- semantic/verbal memory,
- decision makingand response control.
The CANTAB combines the accuracy and rigour of computerised psychological testing whilst retaining the wide range of ability measures demanded of a neuropsychological battery. It is suitable for young[13] and old[14] subjects, and aims to be culture and language independent through the use of non-verbal stimuli in the majority of the tests.
The CANTAB PAL touchscreen test, which assesses visual memory and new learning, was included in a REF submission at the University of Cambridge. This submission (which included research from across the University unrelated to CANTAB PAL) received a 4* grade from the Research Excellence Framework (REF) 2014. [citation needed] CANTAB and CANTAB PAL were highlighted in the Medical Schools Council ‘Health of the Nation’ 2015 publication.[15]
