T.O.V.A. Test of Variables of Attention
|
What is the T.O.V.A.?
-
The T.O.V.A. is an objective, neurophysiological measure of attention, not a subjective rating of behavior.
-
It is a 21.6 minute long, very simple "computer game" that measures your responses to either visual or auditory stimuli.
-
These measurements are then compared to the measurements of a group of people without attention disorders who took the T.O.V.A.
The T.O.V.A. assists clinicians by:
- confirming clinical impression
- verifying treatment
- following attention over time
What makes the T.O.V.A. unique?
T.O.V.A. has a standardized computer game-like format and is easily administered.
- Its reports are immediately available and easy-to-read.
- It measures both visual and auditory information processing, yet in separate tests to clearly identify processing deficits.
- It is extensively normed for both children and adults (ages 4 to 80+)
- It measures reaction times (±1 ms)
- It is language and culture free.
- It promotes efficient and effective communication with parents and schools by means of the Home and School Intervention report.
