Key Results
The focus of the CogniProfil project was to implement actions in support of the commercialization of Mental Attributes Profiling System (MAPS), a system that profiles cognitive abilities and diagnoses dyslexia and other learning difficulties in kids 5-12. The system has been developed and validated in Cyprus more than 10 years ago with the support of two EC, one German, and one RIF grant. The availability of systems that can diagnose and profile learning difficulties of growing children is an urgent and pressing social challenge as it addresses 10-20% of the children’s population. Early diagnosis (which is key for life success with enormous economic and social repercussions) is made possible in MAPS using attractive video-game-like interfaces.
The General Objectives of CogniProfil were:
- Harness MAPS’ scientific, economic and social potential, making it available internationally;
- Extend the battery adding a leap-forward test to assess the ability to multitasking, thus responding to one of the greatest challenges of today’s generation.
To meet these General Objectives, the applicants planned to conduct:
- Pilot testing in diverse cultural and language environments in order to amend, adapt, improve, and thus prepare for international markets, and
- Substantially extend and improve their product adding a new groundbreaking test that assesses Divided Attention (DA).
