| The Six Letter Cancellation Task (SLCT) involves identifying and cancelling six specified target letters within a worksheet containing randomly arranged letters. Participants are given 1.30 minutes to cancel as many target letters as possible using any preferred strategy or scanning pattern. The task assesses various cognitive functions: total cancellations reflect motor and cognitive efficiency, net score indicates sustained attention, and wrong cancellations reflect poor focus or distraction. After standardized instructions, participants complete the task using pencil and paper, and the sheets are collected immediately. Each cancelled letter is scored as 1, and the net score is calculated by subtracting wrong cancellations from total cancellations. Scoring is performed by an assessor blinded to the study designTimepoint: 1 Month | — |
