Psychometric Testing and Cue Utilization During Cued Visual Search
A study testing Behavioral Measurement in people with Healthy, run by Lehigh University at 1 site in United States.
Trial summary
The experimenters will examine the relationship between utilization of positive (target cue) and negative (distractor cue) templates during a cued visual search task with performance on a set of measures related to executive functions associated with attentional control: shifting, updating, and inhibition.

About this study
The experimenters will examine the relationship between utilization of positive (target cue) and negative (distractor cue) templates during a cued visual search task with performance on a set of measures related to executive functions associated with attentional control: shifting, updating, and inhibition.
Read the detailed description
The experimenters will utilize the typical procedures for the cued attentional task, while also deploying the Miyake executive function analysis. Data will also include a working memory capacity measure.

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A study testing Behavioral Measurement in people with Healthy, run by Lehigh University at 1 site in United States.
The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.
Who may be eligible to take part?
The sponsor lists 1 inclusion and 1 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.
Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?
The record says: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 27 Sep 2024. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
Where is the study taking place?
The record lists 1 site in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.
What are the possible benefits and risks?
They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.
Are results available for this study?
The study was stopped early (reason given: Attempts at online data collection led to poor data quality (many missing data points from one task of the set). Study was terminated, given the data quality issues.). Results are not available in the source record.
How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?
The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
What does the primary outcome measure?
Positive, Negative, Neutral Attention Task Performance Speed (time frame: 1 day). The study lists 6 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
Where can I read the original study information?
On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT04964674, which also lists 2 linked publications.
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?
No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.
How often is this information updated?
AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 27 Sep 2024.
