Participants are administered series of computer-based game-like activities using the Psychology Experiment Building Language (PEBL), designed to assess memory and learning, attention, and working memory, executive function, and social cognition. All tests have been psychometrically validated and are used extensively in cognitive function research. The paper–pencil tests include the Repeatable Battery for the Assessment of Neuropsychological Status (RBANS) (84), the computer-based tests are part of the PEBL Battery – The PEBL (85), and the social cognition assessments are elements of the Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale Advanced Clinical Solutions Package (WAIS-IV-ACS) (86, 87).
