Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
1. Objective behavioral measures of academic performance will be assessed via a custom application assessing reading basic academic performance called SEA (reading, math) at baseline, post-training, and at the end of the academic year. A Rate Correct Score metric is used for each domain, taking into account the number of correct responses in 3 minutes while controlling for the response time taken for each correct measure. 2. Eyetracking behavior: Percentile of Sacades (%) as well as Eye Movement Efficiency (mm) assessed using an eye-tracking task at baseline, mid-point of training, post-training, and at the end of the academic year

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
1. An objective behavioral measure of attention via a custom continuous performance task (mCPT), comparable to the Test of Variables of Attention (TOVA), to assess vigilance at baseline, post-training, and at the end of the academic year. The metric of interest on the mCPT task will be response time and variance to targets presented. 2. The researchers will also collect the inattention portion of the Vanderbilt Survey at baseline, post-training, and at the end of the academic year to assess parent and/or teacher perceptions of attention in real-world scenarios, with the metric of interest being the total score across all questions presented as directed by the Vanderbilt Scoring Schema. Exploratory outcome measures: Objective measures of attention and working memory via a Multiple Object Tracking task (Measuring the level of difficulty reached by participants) and a derivative of the Corsi Block Task (measuring the level of difficulty reached by participants) designed to assess how well participants were able to identify targets in the presence of task-irrelevant information (at baseline, post-training and the end of the academic year).
