METHOD OF ESTIMATION OF ATTENTION DISTRIBUTION LEVEL Russian patent published in 2009 - IPC A61B10/00 

FIELD: medicine; psychophysiology.

SUBSTANCE: method lies in presentation of the stimulus fields on the computer display and reaction determination on a stimulus field of the set type. The stimulus fields contain sequence of shots with images of pairs the geometrical figures which part is formed by the identical figures located in sequence of shots in a random way, and reaction consists in bracing of the fact of a presentation of pair identical figures by pressing the first button. Show acoustical stimulus in the form of reports with names of pair the digits which part is formed by the identical digits located in a random way, and reaction consists in bracing of the fact of a presentation of pair identical digits by pressing the second button. Define arithmetic-mean time T₁ of reaction and quantity RV of right answers for visual stimulus, arithmetic-mean time T₂ of reaction, quantity of correct answers on visual RVS and acoustical RS stimulus. At conformity to following criteria: T₁≤600 mc; (T₂-T₁)≤300 mc; RV≥17; RS≥9; (RV-RVS)≤3 do conclusion, that the surveyed possesses necessary level of distribution of attention for operators of dynamic systems.

EFFECT: reduction of time of testing, rising of objectivity of received data, possibility to estimate level of distribution of attention on a case-by-case basis, to establish its quantity indicators and to develop criteria of norm for operators.
