Soma Analytics enables you to add time pressure to cognitive tasks, thereby increasing the overall cognitive load.
When Time Pressure Mode is applied to a cognitive task, Soma NPT constantly tracks the user's response times, applying time pressure through an extra timer bar. This feature dynamically adapts to the user's improving reaction times, progressively increasing the time pressure. Such escalation intensifies cognitive demands on the user, motivating them to maintain quick responses throughout the task.
Feature/Aspect | Description |
Objective | Introduces time constraints to an individual's responses. |
Description of Mode | Time Pressure Mode consistently tracks a user's response times and imposes time pressure through a secondary timer bar. |
Mechanics | As the user's reaction time improves, the time pressure intensifies, exerting more cognitive stress on the user and urging them to keep up with swift responses. |
Soma Analytics | Track the number of TPMs applied to the task over time to gain insights into the intervention's effectiveness. |
