Continuous Performance Tests (CPT) are essential neuropsychological tools for evaluating sustained attention, impulsivity, and inhibitory control. They are widely used in the diagnosis of ADHD, anxiety, and depression, since they measure continuous performance across prolonged tasks.

Compared with traditional methods, the Continuous Performance Test with virtual reality offers an immersive experience that simulates everyday situations. This increases ecological validity and provides more precise and objective evaluations.

Frequently Asked Questions

Let’s look at the most frequently asked questions about CPT continuous performance tests.

What does a CPT or Continuous Performance Test with VR consist of?

The Continuous Performance Test, also known as CPT, is a neuropsychological tool that measures attentional capacity and impulse control. Unlike traditional CPTs such as CPT II or CPT III, usually performed on paper or with repetitive computer tasks, Nesplora’s VR-based CPT places the individual in realistic simulated environments, such as a classroom or a workplace. This immersive setup reduces stress during the evaluation, minimizes evaluator bias, and provides precise measurements of reaction time, omission errors, and impulsivity. As a result, professionals can achieve a more accurate and personalized diagnosis.

Does Nesplora's Continuous Performance Test aid in ADHD diagnosis?

Yes. CPTs are commonly used in the diagnostic process of ADHD. Nesplora’s VR-based CPT goes further by measuring sustained attention, impulsivity, working memory, and cognitive flexibility in everyday-like scenarios.

For children and adolescents (6–16 years), the test simulates environments such as a classroom, helping to identify how attentional difficulties impact academic and social performance.

For adults (16–90 years), the test evaluates attention along with additional cognitive processes such as working memory, flexibility, and inhibitory control, making it valuable not only for ADHD but also for anxiety, depression, or cognitive decline.

What does Nesplora's Continuous Performance Test measure?
