---+ C-TOC Meeting Minutes - April 30, 2010

   * Attendees: Joanna, Claudia, Sarah, Matt

---++ Minutes

---+++ Upcoming
   * cross- cultural advisory panel - May 27 10-1 in Coquitlam (further meetings Oct 2010, Jan 2011) - verbal similarities and memory assessment tests
   * 1st iteration user evaluation and interview - starting week of May 15 (1 subject confirmed, 1 tentative, 5 total)  

---+++ Development
   * prototype - interactive powerpoint prototype largely ready for user testing (1st iteration)
   * drag. + drop vs. point and click?
   * stock photos

---+++ Test Battery
   * see previous meeting minutes [[MinutesMarch112010][March 11]]
   * vis. similarities, pattern construction / recall, sentence production
   * added value for lengthy tasks in the battery?
   * hippocampal associative memory - misplaced item test - recall + identification - more than one clickable object needed; allow 2nd try on recall task? see Sarah's notes
   * timing the tests - counter/no-counter - count upwards from zero / clock icon - no timer icon necessary? appropriate to time all tests - remove timer from tests
   * visual acuity / colour perception - forced-choice/JND task
   * motor accuracy + speed test (Fitts' law layout / pegboard test)
   * visual reproduction task indicative of early dementia - field neglect
   * feedback in arithmetic task required
   * test interruption / resumption - "are you still there?" prompt after threshold time elapsed of inactivity - how to determine when a test performance is invalid due to inactivity? (time between encoding and recall portions of tests)
   * need to establish validity for single tests and entire battery
   * HCI question of how to keep people on task, who is most likely to have problems staying on task, how is this a function of cognitive impairment, what types of impairment are associated with the greatest difficulties of staying on task?
   * if test interruptions are unavoidable, a possibility is the use of a proctor, required to sign in before the examinee and promise to remove distractions and keep the examinee on task - online testing (i.e. boating licence exam)

---+++ To do:
   * Kori Inkpen - drag+drop vs. point+click - differences between older users / children - must be consistent
   * Karyn Moffat - Ph.D thesis - reference - performance differences between 5 wordings of speed/accuracy task instructions (Fitt's task)
   * review papers for clinical diagnoses / conditions (Claudia)
   * ongoing [[C-TOCLiteratureReview][Lit Review]]
   * making the prototype fully interactive
   * interviews need to contain HCI component
