The TOVA Company has helped numerous graduate students complete their degrees, and has had a supportive role in the research of many established researchers and clinicians. We have projects that we’d like to see done, but we’d be happy to help you or your students with your ideas, too.
At present, we are most interested in supporting research that addresses the following:
- T.O.V.A. performance in blast trauma survivors
- T.O.V.A. performance in patients with anxiety disorders
- T.O.V.A. performance in patients with depression
- Use of the T.O.V.A. for ADHD medication management
- Treatment (other than pharmacotherapy) outcomes
- Diurnal effects on T.O.V.A. performance
- T.O.V.A. performance in specific diseases
Test-retest of the auditory T.O.V.A. - Auditory T.O.V.A. performance in known language-based LD cases
- Correlation of visual and auditory T.O.V.A. in normals and general clinical cases
- Effects of instruction to “fake bad” in adolescents and children on the T.O.V.A. visual and auditory tests
- Performance in groups that may be malingering
- Personality research and T.O.V.A. profiles (e.g., Conscientiousness, executive functioning, and T.O.V.A. performance)
- T.O.V.A. performance in unaffected persons (e.g. normal controls in your research)
- T.O.V.A. performance in third-world populations
- T.O.V.A. performance in low income or ethnically diverse samples
- Screening for attention disorders in school children and other samples
Again, feel free to contact us with your ideas. We are interested in hearing about the things that you want to investigate.
