The '''Mental Attributes Profiling System''' (MAPS) is a language independent screening test, i.e., relies on cognitive rather than language-based measures, capable of predicting children at risk (possible dyslexics) and equipping teachers with a profile of their mental abilities so as to design personalized remediation programs. | The '''Mental Attributes Profiling System''' (MAPS) is a language independent screening test, i.e., relies on cognitive rather than language-based measures, capable of predicting children at risk (possible dyslexics) and equipping teachers with a profile of their mental abilities so as to design personalized remediation programs. | ||
MAPS has been developed as a research project within the [[Cyprus Neuroscience and Technology Institute]]. | |||
In 2017, the IP was transferred to a spin off company, [[GNOUS Labs Ltd.]]. | |||

Modeled using the popular “Find the differences” game, this test presents three pictures very similar to one another and one that must be matched. The exercise is repeated four times with four different pictures. The total number of correct responses is used as an index of visual discrimination. | Modeled using the popular “Find the differences” game, this test presents three pictures very similar to one another and one that must be matched.
