00DESCRIPTION OF THE DRIVINGCOGNITIVE ASSESSMENT BATTERYThomas took the Driving Assessment Battery on 27/02/18 at 37 years-o ld. This assessment tomeasure cognitive indices uses clinical scales and normalized and validated tests for people 37years-o ld.

T he Driving Asse ssm e nt Ba t t e ry (DAB) f rom CogniFit is made up of a set of cognitive tasksthat allow users to better understand the skills needed for driving. T his CogniFit drivingassessment battery is an evaluation of the cognitive functions validated in multiple studies andused by millions of users over the last 15 years.

T his neurocognitive assessment tool helps evaluate a wide range of cognitive skills, drivingstyle, rule compliance, and mental adaptation related to driving.

T he automated report from this test will offer conclusions about the functioning of each of thedifferent brain areas and functions.

01EVALUATED AREAST he answers from the questionnairewill be focused on the followingareas:

Rule complianceMental AdaptationDriving styles

02COGNITIVE PROFILEIn this section, you will see a circulardiagram next to each evaluated area,which will indicate the user's scorebased on their percentile andnormalized for their age and gender.For example, a score of 500 would becalculated depending on the user'sage group. CogniFit's values arecalculated in percentiles but areshown adjusted on a scale of 0-800.As such, the higher score, the better.

THE RESULTS FROM THE DRIVING COGNITIVEASSESSMENTS IS MADE OF THREE PARTS:




01 EVALUATED AREASSince the 1980's, researchers have been studying the relationship between driving vehicles andhuman behavior, and have detected certain factors that may put human life at risk while driving avehicle. Some of these factors are substance consumption, weather conditions, roadconditions, legislation, the type of vehicle, and the driver's mental and cognitive state andabilities.

THOMAS SHOWSINDICES THAT WE DONOT CONSIDER TOBE POSITIVE FORDRIVING CITYVEHICLES ANDSHOULD BEIMPROVED.

0/5

RULE COMPLIANCEHIGH RIS KRule com pliance ensures the physical integrity ofboth pedestrians and drivers. Failure to abide by thecode set by the law is a risk factor directly re lated to ahigher acc ident and fatality rate .

0/6

MENTAL ADAPTATIONHIGH RIS KIn order to fight against the stress that driving can cause , itis im portant to know our m ental adaptation ability. Thereare different factors that alter the physical and m entalstate of the driver, such as the fact of be ing several hoursbehind the wheel, traffic jam s, bad roads, recklessness ofother drivers, sleep, em otional state , personal problem s,etc .

DRIVING STYLESDRIVING S T YLE NOT S PECIFIEDAggressiveness, fear, or prudence are factors re lated to adriving style that m ay be a risk factor when driving. Making aprudent and thought-out dec ision can help avoid potentialacc idents or inc idents on the road.




RULE COMPLIANCEHIGH RISKT homas presents a low index in rule compliance. Different studies have shown that rule compliance canhelp prevent accidents on the road.

Thomas has responded negatively to the following items that are related to proper compliance withroad rules and regulations:

T hey're respectful of other drivers.T hey like to follow the rules of the road.T hey go the speed limit.T hey have all of the points on their license.Can control stress and irritability when driving.

MENTAL ADAPTATIONHIGH RISKT homas shows a low score in mental adaptation. Mental adaptation prevents us from the stress andmental fatigue caused by driving.

Thomas has responded negatively to the following items that are related to proper mentalaadaptation:

Endures driving for 2-3 hours without tiredness (drowsiness, eye discomfort, mental fatigue).T hey adapt well to the changes and unforeseen events that may arise during a trip (traffic jams,weather changes, car breakdowns)On long trips, they volunteer to drive.T hey use their car for work.T hey drive more than 10 hours per week.T hey tend to stay calm in traffic jams or when another driver obstructs traffic.

MODERAT E RISK

COMPLETE COGNITIVE REPORTFOR THOMAS

Thomas has presented a pro le that is compatible with a moderat e cognit ive risk.The results f rom the dif ferent tasks in this cognitive assessment show that Thomas'sareas of improvement are reasoning, memory, attention, coordination and perception. We recommend bringing t his informat ion t o a professional in order to betterinterpret the skills with lower scores.

THOMAS 'S PROFILE

Perception




155/800

SHIFTING Score Received: 155

T homas received low scores in the area of shifting. Shifting is the brain's ability toadapt behavior and thoughts to new, changing, or unexpected situations. It is the abilityto anticipate problems, make decisions, create alternative solutions, as well as take theinitiative to adapt behavior depending on the situation.

167/800

VISUAL SHORT TERM MEMORY Score Received: 167

T homas has received low scores in this cognitive skill. Visual short-term memory is theability to remember visual information over a short period of time.

284/800

INHIBITION Score Received: 317

T homas received moderate scores in the area of inhibition. Inhibition is the ability toignore irrelevant stimuli or suppress irrelevant reactions when carrying out a task. Forexample, you may use inhibition when stopping at a stoplight that just turned red, eventhough you're in a hurry.

DIVIDED ATTENTION Score Received: 86

T homas received a low score in divided attention. Divided attention is what makes itpossible for us to control everything that is happening around us at the same time.When driving, this may include paying attention to tra c signs, mirrors, speed, etc.,while talking to a friend or listening to the radio.

FOCUSED ATTENTION Score Received: 448

T homas received high scores in this cognitive skill. Focus attention makes it possiblefor the driver to stay alert during long trips that may be tiresome and monotonous.Focus attention makes it possible to pay attention to relevant stimuli while inhibitingthose that may be irrelevant.

207/800

HAND-EYE COORDINATION Score Received: 134

T homas has received a low score in hand-eye coordination. T his skill is thecoordination of the hands and eyes. Hand-eye coordination is a complex skill, as itrequires the hand to move depending on the visual stimuli that the eyes receive. T his isan essential skill for driving, as it makes it possible to move the vehicle towards thenecessary location safely and while avoiding obstacles.

RESPONSE TIME Score Received: 279

T homas received moderate scores in response time. T his is the ability to perceive asimple stimulus and respond to it. For example, response time would be the time that ittakes to start a motor action to break when you see a pedestrian crossing the street.

214/800

ESTIMATION Score Received: 8

T homas has received low scores in estimation. Estimating speed, direction, or distanceis one of the skills that we use constantly as we drive, and is essential to driving safely.For example, if you want to pass a car on the road, you need to estimate your speed andthe speed of the other car, and estimate the time and distance to be able to pass theother vehicle safely.

EXECUTIVE FUNCTIONS AND DRIVING

Executive functions are sophisticated cognitive skills that make it possible to refine and directactions, thoughts, and emotions. These executive functions are made up of attention, memory, timemanagement, planning, and shifting, as well as others. Executive functions are mainly located in theprefrontal lobe, and are the most evolved cognitive skills that make it possible to boost anddevelop abilities.Executive functions help us:Change plans in order to rect ify errors.Manage t ime.Control automat ic behaviors.Supervise act ions to ensure they are being carried out correct ly and without any errors.Predict unexpected situat ions and consequences.Make goals.Plan and establish the steps to reach a goal.Init iate, develop, and complete act ions.Resist interference, avoiding dist ract ions by irrelevant st imuli.
