These assessments take approximately twenty minutes to administer and produces an immediate ANAM4 Performance Report (APR). The APR provides a full report on current neurocognitive status for the assessment session and comparisons to previous assessment sessions, as well as to relevant reference groups.
ADEPT™, the ANAM4 Data Extraction and Presentation tool can be used for detailed, custom analysis of individual assessment data or population analysis.
Recommended ANAM4 administration procedures follow the general guidelines of the American Psychological Association (APA) for distribution and administration of psychological tests. In a group testing environment, verbal directions are recommended to supplement written instructions. This assists test takers with varied reading capabilities.
ANAM4 can be administered by qualified professionals who have training in psychological testing principles and test administration procedures. Training for proctors is offered through Vista LifeSciences. No specialized equipment is required to run ANAM. Requirements include simply:
- A desktop, laptop, or tablet PC
- Windows Vista, XP, or 2000 operating system
- Mouse
