Description:

This series of screens is designed to help young children both learn about the Touch Screen and about the concept of Home Base, or the place where they should rest their index finger between items when the measure involves measurement of response time. To help the child get comfortable with the touch screen, the examiner may want to demonstrate, move the child’s finger, or in other ways, encourage the child to do the required actions.

All the instructions are on the screen. The examiner reads them to and/or with the participant and points out the relevant aspects of the stimuli on the screen. The next screen appears when either the examiner or participant makes a choice on the screen. To prevent inadvertent screen advancement by children, a touch-and-hold button will be implemented that will require a 1-second hold by the examiner to activate and advance the screen.
