Standardized Touchscreen Assessment of Cognition (STAC)

The Standardized Touchscreen Assessment of Cognition (STAC) is an automated screening tool that allows therapists and other healthcare providers to obtain cursory information about an individual’s cognitive function. The STAC assesses cognitive and linguistic functions and enables the examiner to receive both quantitative and qualitative information about a person's cognitive abilities. The STAC is a self-administered, automated assessment making the administration consistent from session to session. STAC eliminates examiner bias with serial administrations of the test. The scoring is automated; however, qualitative information from each patient is determined based on time elapsed during timed subtests, pattern of responses and ability to process sub-test instructions. A full report is immediately accessible following the test administration, and can be emailed directly to the clinician. Ranked scores are provided in the report based on preliminary normative data collection. Norms will continually be updated to provide the evaluating clinician with valuable data for interpretation during the evaluation process.
