ADHD Assessment Tool

Nesplora’s VR-based assessments provide objective and precise measures of attention, impulsivity and working memory.  By using virtual reality, the assessment places the individual in realistic environments that mimic everyday situations, minimizing evaluator bias and increasing ecological validity.

Key advantages of Nesplora’s cognitive assessment tools:

• Greater precision in measuring cognitive variables (such as sustained attention, impulsivity, and working memory), and increased objectivity by reducing observer bias.
• Analysis and monitoring of performance during the task within a virtual reality environment.
• Immediate results upon completion of the assessment: automation of the process makes it possible to obtain a characterization of the examinee’s attentional profile.
• Ecological validity: by simulating everyday situations, it enhances the relevance of the results and provides complementary data for the professional’s overall evaluation.

Our tools are validated through normative studies and research collaborations with clinical and academic institutions. The VR-based format allows us to measure:

• Sustained and selective attention
• Impulsivity and inhibitory control
• Working memory and cognitive flexibility
• Motor activity and reaction time variability

The assessment takes place in an immersive virtual environment that simulates real-life scenarios. The participant interacts with visual and auditory stimuli, responding to relevant ones while ignoring distractions.

During the test, the software automatically records:

• Reaction time and accuracy in attentional tasks
• Omission and commission errors, which indicate distractibility or impulsivity
• Performance variability, reflecting attentional stability

At the end of the evaluation, an automatic normative report is generated, including explanatory graphs and clinical interpretations that help professionals design individualized interventions.

Nesplora offers tools adapted to different age groups and contexts:

• Children and adolescents (6–16 years): Nesplora Attention Kids Aula simulates a school classroom to assess attentional performance in a realistic academic environment.
• Children and adolescents with educational recommendations: Nesplora Attention Kids Aula School builds upon Aula, adding personalized psychoeducational feedback for teachers and parents.
• Adults (16–90 years): Nesplora Attention Adults Aquarium immerses the participant in a 360º aquarium setting to assess attention, working memory, and cognitive flexibility.

This differentiation ensures that the assessment is age-appropriate and contextually relevant.
