Neuropsychology Laboratory

This laboratory is equipped with an extensive range of neuropsychological test materials, including traditional paper-and-pencil tests and computerised formats. The neuropsychology laboratory has grown into a major resource for the investigation of various cognitive disorders, and the expertise of the Specialist Psychologists is sought by clinicians and researchers.

We have developed our own in-house computerised test battery called ‘Sensus’ which is being validated as a brief cognitive assessment tool. Sensus includes Simple and Complex Reaction Time tests, the well-known Stroop Test with an additional set-shifting trial, Paced Serial Arithmetic test and a Picture Location Memory test. Sensus can be self-administered with minimal supervision required. Scoring is automatic for most tests and the test data is generated by the computer program. Normative data for sensus is currently being collected on 1000 community living older adults, aged 70-90 from the Memory and Ageing Study.
