THIS RESOURCE IS NO LONGER IN SERVICE, documented on July 17, 2013. Memory impairment is one of the most common complaints after head injury, and accordingly, individuals may attempt to feign memory impairment or exaggerate symptoms of memory impairment. This free neuropsychological evaluation software contains some of the most common tests used to detect malingering of memory impairment. This software package contains a number of tests of declarative memory that assess recall of information that has a personal and temporal context. The typical example of declarative tests used for detecting malingering are the auditory verbal learning test and forced choice test. These tests are included in Symptom Validity along with other tests of declarative memory (e.g., prose recall, questionnaire tests). Unfortunately, classification of individuals is not completely accurate even with the use of multiple declarative memory tests. Thus, other tests that can complement previously used declarative memory measures by enhancing classification accuracy may be of great value to the neuropsychologist assessing the possibility of malingering. Your software contains two tests of nondeclarative memory that have been previously shown to be useful in the detection of malingered memory deficits (Davis et al., 1997a, 1997b). These tests take advantage of the general laypersons misunderstanding of the test performance of a truly memory impaired individual. That is, amnesic patients have been shown to perform normally on these nondeclarative memory tests and this is counterintuitive to the memory performance expectations of the general layperson. The nondeclarative tests included in Symptom Validity are two repetition priming tests of word stem completion and two tests of pattern categorization learning. Note: At this time this program will run only on Windows 98. We are currently working on a version that will run under the newer operating systems.

THIS RESOURCE IS NO LONGER IN SERVICE, documented on July 17, 2013. The modifiable n-Back test is free software presumed to measure executive control of the updating of information in working memory. The task requires the participant to monitor some dimension (e.g. content, position, numerosity) of a temporally present sequence of items, responding when the currently presented item matches on the relevant dimension an item that was just recently presented. The match can be with an item present either 1 back, 2 back, 3 back or n back. Considerable flexibility is provided to the experimenter in specifying various parameters of the experiment (e.g. presentation rate, n back, content, position, color). The n-Back test is presumed to measure executive control of the updating of information in working memory. (Shimamura, 2000) Watter, Geffen and Geffen (2001) based on their work with the P300 event-related-potential have suggested that the n-Back is a dual task in that latencies of the P300 did not change with increasing task difficulty, that is memory load while amplitude did reflecting in their view a reallocation of attention and processing capacity away from the matching subtask. The n-Back task is one in which the participant is presented a series of stimuli at a constant rate. The task of the participant is to determine if the currently presented stimulus is similar (along some dimension) to one they have recently (usually one, two or three positions back) seen in the stream. Match criteria can be dimensions like material, position on the screen, color or some combination. CATs n-Back allows for substantial control over the position in which the material is presented (nine different positions), the nature of the material (any character or dingbat string, and any color. The experimenter can set the speed at which the sequence is presented including both the stimulus on time and the inter-stimulus interval. Participant responses can be made either using the keyboard or the mouse. At this time no normative data is available for this test.

THIS RESOURCE IS NO LONGER IN SERVICE, documented on July 16, 2013. CATs Card Sort is a free, general purpose card sorting program which allows the user to design sorting tasks similar to those described by Vigotsky (1934), Weigel (1941), and Grant and Berg (1948). Card sorting tasks have been shown to be particularly sensitive to frontal lobe dysfunction, but have also shown sensitivity to motor disorders, schizophrenia, chronic alcoholism, aging, and attention deficit disorder. The CATs Card Sort package provides extensive flexibility in the development of stimulus cards, allowing the experimenter to define the relevant dimensions of cards in terms of figures, letters or words, figure/letter/word color, card color, figure/letter numerosity, and a user defined dimension. Considerable flexibility is also provided in designing lists of to be sorted cards, sort criteria, and the criteria for sort classification shift. The package also provides limited analysis capabilities as described by Grant and Berg (1948). However, as with all CATs packages raw data can be copied to the clipboard in a format acceptable for import into commonly available spreadsheets such as Excel allowing the user to design analysis routines appropriate to their needs.

A labeled three-dimensional atlas of the human brain created from MRI images. In conjunction are presented anatomically labeled stained sections that correspond to the three-dimensional MRI images. The stained sections are from a different brain than the one which was scanned for the MRI images. Also available the major anatomical features of the human hypothalamus, axial sections stained for cell bodies or for nerve fibers, at six rostro-caudal levels of the human brain stem; images and Quicktime movies. The MRI subject was a 22-year-old adult male. Differing techniques used to study the anatomy of the human brain all have their advantages and disadvantages. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) allows for the three-dimensional viewing of the brain and structures, precise spatial relationships and some differentiation between types of tissue, however, the image resolution is somewhat limited. Stained sections, on the other hand, offer excellent resolution and the ability to see individual nuclei (cell stain) or fiber tracts (myelin stain), however, there are often spatial distortions inherent in the staining process. The nomenclature used is from Paxinos G, and Watson C. 1998. The Rat Brain in Stereotaxic Coordinates, 4th ed. Academic Press. San Diego, CA. 256 pp
