2.2.6. Cognitive Functioning

Cognitive functioning was assessed using the Connect Research Suite of the Cambridge Neuropsychological Test Automated Battery (CANTAB), a computerized test battery. The CANTAB is a well-validated standardized cognitive battery that provides rapid, sensitive and objective measures of multiple cognitive domains. These tasks have been validated to understand the role of specific brain functions among a wide range of disorders. Participants completed four of the CANTAB tasks with French voiceover instructions on an iPad Air 2, namely the Multitasking Test (MT), the One Touch Stockings of Cambridge (OTS), the Rapid Visual Information Processing (RVP), and the Stop Signal Task (SST), in that order. These tasks have been developed to assess two key domains, namely sustained attention and executive functioning. For more details on the following tasks and the CANTAB battery, see cantab.com.
