Many behavioural tests, especially those concerned with touch and sensory motor function involve manual administration. This raises issues about test sensitivity and bias. It is also labour intensive requiring trained testers and can make it difficult to compare results across separate sessions with different testers. The purpose of this discussion group is to review progress being made to develop automated adaptive testing procedures for cognitive and behavioural assessment and consider the extent to which they afford remote testing.
