Definition of Quotient ADHD System Attention and Motion Variables

Attention Variables
Variable Definition
Accuracy (percent) Percentage of correct responses
Omission Errors (percent) Percentage of missed targets
Commission Errors (percent) Percentage of incorrect responses to non-targets.
Latency (milliseconds) Mean reaction time to respond to a target.
Variability (milliseconds) Variation in response times to the correct target.
C.O.V (number) Variability that is adjusted to take into account difference in response latency.
Motion Variables
Variable Definition
Immobility Duration (milliseconds) Average amount time spent sitting still.
Head Movements (number) Average number of position changes greater than 1 mm.
Displacement (meters) Total distance traveled by the reflector.
Area (centimeters squared) Total area covered by the reflector's path.
Spatial Complexity (scale score) Complexity of the movement path, with values from 1 (straight line movements) to 2 (more complex movements).
Temporal Scaling (scale score) Frequency of movement, with values from 0 (lack of movements) to 1 (incessant movements).
