SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR EVALUATING THE BASIC EXECUTIVE FUNCTIONS OF A SUBJECT

摘要

The present invention relates to a novel evaluation system for evaluating the basic executive functions of a subject comprising: a processing unit (1) integrated with hardware and software elements for generating two-dimensional or three-dimensional evaluation environments based on virtual reality, and for processing results of interaction of a subject with said evaluation environments; an immersive virtual reality equipment (3) connected to the processing unit (1) to be used by the subject under evaluation. The hardware/software elements of the processing unit (1) advantageously comprise at least a first module for parametrizing the characteristics of the evaluation environments, a second module of visualization using virtual reality, and a third module for statistical analysis. The invention is applicable in work and high risk environments, and has the capacity for evaluating if a worker and/or subject is capable of performing those work or high risk activities having a significant human error-related risk.
