Saccade reaction test for the assessment of cognitive readiness

Key Points

Saccade metrics effectively evaluate cognitive readiness based on inter-individual variability and age differences.
Performance on the reactive saccade task shows notable stability across individuals, suggesting individualized assessments.
Analysis focused on comparing attentional traits across different age groups to enrich cognitive performance data.
The utility of this assessment may enhance decision-making in task assignment and return-to-duty situations.

Abstract

We verified inter-individual variability, within-individual stability, and across-age differences in the performance on a reactive saccade task. A quick assessment of attentional traits or states with saccade reaction metrics, aided by rapidly developing technology, may provide utility in a cognitive readiness test that can inform task assignment or return-to-duty/play decisions.
