Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- Vestibular questionnaire (Newly developed to evaluate cognitive abilities) [Within one week after recruitment]
Participants will be recruited and tested within one week of recruitment. Testing will be online and will take around 20 minutes on average. The new questionnaire will evaluate demographic questions, and different cognition abilities using a likert-scale.
- Standard computerized cognitive assessment (For example : Test of attentional performance, digit span, visuo-spatial span, line bisection task,...) [Within one week after recruitment]
Participants will be recruited and tested within one week of recruitment. Testing will be at the hospital and will take 2 hours maximum. Standard computerized cognitive assessment will be used such as the Test of attentional performance (TAP2.2), digit span, visuo-spatial span, line bisection task, etc. Reaction times, errors and omissions will be recorded.
