System and Method for Testing Memory
First Claim
1. A method for conducting memory measurement tests based on memorizing random sequences of signals and for recording and displaying test results, the method comprising the steps of:
- selecting a test variant and a test matrix on a graphical user interface of a client device;
measuring test outcome variables based on timings and action of an examinee;
computing composite score data based on at least one of test matrix, test outcome variables, and normalization factors for learning effect, gender, and age of the examinee;
storing the test outcome variables and the composite score data for the examinee in a memory medium;
displaying the composite score data; and
transmitting automatically, via a communication interface on the client device, the test outcome variables, and the composite score data of the examinee from the client device to a database residing on a remote web server, the database storing at least one of examinee personal data, the test outcome variables, the composite score data, and the test matrices of all the examinees.

Abstract
Different memory testing programs, systems, and methods for conducting memory tests, and for storing and displaying test data and trends residing on a client'"'"'s machine are disclosed. The tests generally are based on generating a random sequence of signals, displaying the sequence to an examinee, the examinee memorizing the sequence, and inputting the sequence into the testing program. The signals could have visual, auditory, and/or positional components. The signals could also be alphanumeric strings.
The testing program measures test outcome variables, computes a composite memory score based on the test outcome variables, records and displays the stored test data. The testing device may also include a communication interface for periodically transferring the stored test data to a database residing on a remote server displaying the test data of the examinee on a website through an internet connection.

6. A computer-readable medium residing on a client device, allowing an examinee to select a test variant and a test matrix, and including instructions for conducting memory measurement tests and for recording and displaying results, the instructions comprising:
-
generating a random sequence of signals by a sequence generator module of a testing program residing on a client device; measuring test outcome variables resulting from an examinee memorizing and inputting the memorized sequence of signals into the client device; computing composite score data based on at least one of test variant, test matrix, test outcome variables, and normalization factors for learning effect, gender, and age of the examinee; storing the test outcome variables and the composite score data for the examinee in a memory medium; and displaying the composite score data. - View Dependent Claims (7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
