In this session you are going to perform nine tests. The tests have been specifically designed to assess different orientation skills and, eventually, to identify the impairment that may cause people to get lost in daily life. If you provide your address, you will also receive an email reporting your scores and a description of the cognitive skill assessed by each test.

The tests will take about 90 minutes to complete. Most of this time is spent uploading the images and videos required for each test and the duration of the tests may vary slightly depending on your skills. You are not allowed to take notes or use any aids to help you to perform the tests. Everything you need will be available to you on your computer screen. Detailed instructions will be provided to you before you perform each test.

IMPORTANT: YOU CAN ONLY TAKE THE TESTS ONCE
. Also, the tests are related to each other and they need to be taken all in one session. Therefore, PLEASE ENSURE that you are in a quiet and comfortable place, and that you will not be interuppted. IF NEEDED, brief breaks are allowed between tests BUT no breaks are allowed between Test 8 and 9.

PLEASE KEEP IN MIND THAT IF YOU QUIT THE TESTING SESSION BEFORE COMPLETING TEST 9 YOUR DATA WILL NOT BE RECORDED IN OUR DATABASE.

Before performing the tests, we ask you to read our Consent Form, as approved by Vancouver Coastal Health and University of British Columbia, and to give your consent to participate in this study. The information you provide about your orientation skills, as well as your test scores, will be kept confidential and stored in a password-protected and secure database. None of the information that you are required to provide is capable of revealing your identity.
