“…The reliability study in the test manual found that on retesting subjects did not significantly change by more than three to four points in either direction (Sandford & Sandford, 2015). Thus, any group increases in IVA-2 quotient scores greater than three to four points can be validly interpreted as a result of an active treatment and not due to practice effects.…”

“…Focus is a measure of the variability of response time to visual test targets. The AAQ has the exact same components and differs in that it assesses auditory test responses to the same primary measures of attention (Sandford & Sandford 2015). Moreover, the IVA-2 has been demonstrated to be valid for adults with neurological insults such as traumatic brain injury (TBI; Tinius, 2003).…”

“…There were a few individuals who were not able to validly respond to either visual or auditory IVA-2 test stimuli due to their extreme deficits in attentional functioning. In these cases, their "invalid scores" for IVA-2 were scored as zero in accordance with the test interpretive procedures (Sandford & Sandford, 2015). After the completion of 20 and again after 40 neurofeedback sessions, the IVA-2 test was readministered.…”

This paper discusses positive therapeutic gains made with veterans whose primary treatment for posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) was artifact corrected neurofeedback. Assessments completed after both 20 and 40 halfhour sessions of treatment identified significant improvements for both auditory and visual attention using the IVA-2 and significant improvements in well-being based on the General Well-Being Scale (GWBS). It was discovered that neurofeedback impacted individuals' overall auditory attention and IVA-2 global auditory test scores significantly improved after both 20 (p < .007, Cohen's d = 0.5) and 40 training sessions (p < .0001, Cohen's d = 0.8). Veterans were found to have significant enhancements in auditory vigilance (p < .03), processing speed (p < .0009) and focus (p < .01). The IVA-2 global measure of visual attention was also found to show significant improvements after 20 sessions (p < .004, Cohen's d = 0.5) and after 40 sessions (p < .06, Cohen's d = 0.4). Specific improvements in visual processing speed (p < .04) and focus (p < .02) were identified after 40 sessions. Ratings of well-being significantly improved after treatment (p < .001, Cohen's d = 0.8) with 84% of the veterans improving five points or more on the GWBS. Improvements in well-being were found to be significantly correlated with increases in veterans' overall auditory attention (r = .44, p < .03) and auditory processing speed (r = .57, p < .005).

“…They divided in three groups one group was control group, two groups were experimental groups how participated biofeedback and neurofeedback training. In this study, the computerized Integrated Visual and Auditory test (IVA) developed by Sandford and Turner (2004) was used. It is a twenty-minute visualauditory test which investigates an individual's ability to focus and avoid impulsive responses.…”

ABSTRACT:The aim of this study was the effect of Bio/Neurofeedback training on performance, audio and visual attention of elite shooters. In this study 36 elite shooters of Kermanshah Province participated. They divided in three groups. Two groups were experimental groups how participated biofeedback and neurofeedback training and one group was control group. All participants were tried that their trainings as well as the number of shoots were closely controlled in order to assure their physical and special trainings. In this study, for attention affects the computerized Integrated Visual and Auditory test (IVA) was used. This test has been considered as both a pretest and a posttest after the therapeutic intervention in three groups. The score of shooting also were collected before and after intervention. Each athlete in neurofeedback training group carried out the neurofeedback training for 20 sessions, each lasting 45 minutes. To do so, both auricles and T3 and PZ of each individual were cleaned using alcohol and new-perp gel to prepare for the neurofeedback training. The biofeedback training was heart rate and respiratory training. To compare the results of the pretest and the posttest in each group, the dependent t-test was used. For compare three groups we used ANOVA test. The significance level was set at 0.05. The results indicated that there is a significant difference in three groups. It indicates a significant increase in the total score for attention after the implementation of the biofeedback and neurofeedback training. The results showed that the attention mean scores in three visual, audio, and total variables were higher in the posttest than in the pretest for two experimental groups. The results also indicated that the scores of the shoots were improved after training. According the research finding, we can be said that the neurofeedback and biofeedback training act on the waves of the sensory-motor beats and which are responsible for coordinating the sensory-motor acts of the brain waves and physiology parameters (Heart and respiratory systems), and strengthen these waves in addition to the beta ones and rate of the heart and respiration. This leads to regulating the performance and attention.

“…The IVA CPT has higher diagnostic accuracy than other CPTs (Tinius, 2003). A cue-target version (A-X; Sandford & Turner, 1995) with a reliability coefficient that ranged from .53 to .93 was used in this study to test auditory comprehension and sensitivity in children with ADHD before and after stimulating the vestibular system (intervention group) and clinical movement exercises (control group).…”

Twenty children, aged 10 to 12 years with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), were selected to study the effect of vestibular stimulation on auditory perception and sensitivity using the Integrated Visual and Auditory Continuous Performance Test (IVA CPT; a neuropsychological test that is applied in occupational therapy clinics). The present study examined children based on the criteria of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, 4th edition, text revision. After obtaining guardian and parental consent, the children were enrolled in the study and randomly matched according to age across intervention and control groups. The IVA CPT was applied as a pre-test. The children in the intervention group then received vestibular stimulation during therapy sessions twice per week for 10 weeks. The IVA CPT assessment (post-test) was then applied in both groups. The mean pre-and post-test scores were compared across groups. The statistical analyses revealed a significant difference in improvement in auditory comprehension. In conclusion, the present findings suggest that vestibular training is a reliable and powerful treatment option for ADHD, especially when combined with other training. Stimulating the sense of balance highlights the important interaction between inhibition and cognition.
