CAPITO Expert - Tests for attention, impulse control and EKPs

CAPITO - Cognitive And Psychophysiological Test Operations

CAPITO Expert is a software solution based on the well-thought-out, extremely comprehensive, and flexible CAPITO BASIC. It enables trainers to individually organize a wide-ranging test portfolio for each client and every session – both during preparation and directly during execution. The tests are professionally displayed on the screen, while you simultaneously see exactly what your client sees in real time and can immediately track all results.

Special focus of CAPITO Expert: This version specializes in recording event-related potentials (ERPs) during simultaneous assessment of cognitive performance.

Examples of tests in CAPITO Expert:

- Oddball Visual ERP

The visual oddball ERP paradigm uses a stream of "X" and "O" stimuli, with "O" appearing as the frequent (standard) stimulus and "X" as the rare (target) stimulus. During recording, green and red triangles are displayed to help the trainer clearly identify the occurrence of frequent and rare stimuli. This paradigm is used to observe attention processes and stimulus processing, as rare stimuli typically elicit a more pronounced P300 response than standard stimuli.

- Oddball Auditory ERP

The auditory oddball ERP paradigm presents frequent standard tones and less frequent, rare tones. During recording, green and red triangles assist the trainer in precisely capturing the timing of each stimulus. The paradigm is used to assess attention and auditory processing, as unusual tones typically generate a stronger P300 response.

- Flanker Task ERP

The Flanker Task ERP paradigm displays a series of arrow stimuli pointing left or right. If all arrows point in the same direction, the stimulus is considered congruent; if one or more arrows point in a different direction, it is an incongruent stimulus. Red and green triangles serve as markers for the user to categorize the different stimulus types for later analysis. This paradigm is often used to explore attention, conflict processing, and response control, as incongruent stimuli typically require higher cognitive processing than congruent stimuli.

This software includes both CAPITO BASIC and CAPITO EXPERT.
