“…The use of VR as an environment in which diagnostics is carried out has also been described by other authors, to mention (Adams et al, 2009;Nolin et al, 2016;Parsons et al, 2007;Pollak et al, 2009;Rizzo et al, 2004;Ryan, 2017;Yeh et al, 2012). The results of these research studies allow to conclude that the potential of virtual reality can at least be used to support the diagnosis of attention disorders.…”

The notion of Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) may have its origins in 1763, when Scottish physician Sir Arthur Crichton observed people who could be easily distracted to a degree approaching the nature of delirium. Since then, the notion of ADHD matured and aroused controversy concerning whether it is a real illness and the motives behind particular methods of its treatments. Despite the controversy, ADHD is well established as a research subject and a frequently diagnosed disorder. Thus, the aim of this paper is not to deal with controversies but rather to show the evolution of methods used for the detection of this disorder. Literature analysis revealed that those methods varied from classical psychological tests/questionnaires to analyses of: eye-motion, micro-motion, brain activity, and behavioral patterns in virtual reality. The main conclusion is that the above methods tend to be heavily computer-aided and that the future belongs to mobile solutions incorporated into complex e-health systems.

“…Two studies that used virtual reality to assess cognitive functions in children included the virtual classroom (AULA). AULA has been used to detect attention and inhibition deficits in children with attention hyperactivity deficit disorder [51] and acquired brain injury [52]. Another task supported by virtual reality that was developed for children is Meal-Maker, which involves preparing a menu [53].…”

“…Performance-based naturalistic tasks are observable, rulebased, open tasks performed in an environment that mimics the real world or is the real world (e.g., in an apartment set up to conduct the assessment, a kitchen) [74,75]. As regards the instruments that use naturalistic tasks, we found three tests that used a cooking task in children (Children's Kitchen Task Assessment [52]; DO-EAT [56] and Children's Cooking Task [58] and one test aimed at preschool children (Preschool Executive Task Assessment) [55]. In addition, two instruments (i.e., Assessment Motor Process Skills and School-Assessment Motor Process Skills) were used while observing a significant activity of the child or adult, although intentional behavior, goal formulation or behavior monitoring were not among the executive functions considered.…”

“…VR-based testing made it possible to find that under conditions of distraction, individuals with ASD are compromised in their ability to activate external distractor inhibition despite the fact that their response time may not suffer. Additionally, Nolin et al (2016) found a strong concurrent validity between their ClinicaVR: Classroom-CPT and the traditional VIGIL-CPT, and, more specifically, strong correlations were observed between correct responses, commission errors and reaction times, and, interestingly, head movements registered in the VR test correlated with most variables of the traditional VIGIL-CPT, showing that constructs measured by both tests (sustained attention, selective attention, and impulsivity/inhibition) were very similar and supporting the usage of VR-based tests as a way to perform neuropsychological assessment in a way that is more close to real life functioning of test respondents.…”

A cognitive assessment strategy that is not limited to examining a set of summary test scores may be more helpful for early detection of emergent illness such as Alzheimer's disease (AD) and may permit a better understanding of cognitive functions and dysfunctions in those with AD and other dementia disorders. A revisit of the work already undertaken by Kaplan and colleagues using the Boston Process-Approach provides a solid basis for identifying new opportunities to capture data on neurocognitive processes, test-taking strategies and response styles. Thus, this critical review will combine traditional process-based assessment strategies with support provided or offered by newer technologies that have the potential to add value to data collection and interpretation. There is now considerable interest in neuropsychological test administration using computer/digital technology, both in research and in clinical settings. To add value, any computerized version of an existing cognitive test should respect the administration procedure for which normative data were obtained, should be time-saving in terms of scoring and interpretation, and should, we argue, facilitate gathering information about the processes and strategies followed in test completion. This article will offer an overview of the steps needed when implementing computerization of neuropsychological tests using a Process-Based Approach (PBA) to these technology-based adaptations and will discuss further developments in this area by linking it to future technological developments that may be possible in the area of neuropsychological assessment. Additionally, an overview of neuropsychological tests that may benefit from computerization will be presented, together with suggestions on the specific processes, strategies and features that may be captured with the aid of such computerization. Finally, hypotheses on how virtual reality could be an asset for the future of the PBA to neuropsychological assessment will also be discussed.
