Optimal range: 6-11 Score: 0 COGNITIVE PROFILE 4 /10 Thomas presents scores in some cognit ive skills t hat are relat ed t o driving t hat are moderate to low. Optimal range: 7-10 Score: 4 EVALUATED AREAS HIGH RISK THOMAS Rule compliance 0-1 0 Mental adaptation 0-2 0 Cognitive profile 0-3 4 CONCLUSIONS We recommend that T homas complete the diagnosis with a clinical interview. We recommend starting a personalized brain training program from CogniFit. Research information about healthy habits and talk to a medical professional about this information.

Driving Cognit ive Assessment DAB 3 00 DESCRIPTION OF THE DRIVING COGNITIVE ASSESSMENT BATTERY Thomas took the Driving Assessment Battery on 27/02/18 at 37 years-old. This assessment to measure cognitive indices uses clinical scales and normalized and validated tests for people 37 years-o ld. T he Driving Asse ssm e nt Ba t t e ry (DAB) f rom CogniFit is made up of a set of cognitive tasks that allow users to better understand the skills needed for driving. T his CogniFit driving assessment battery is an evaluation of the cognitive functions validated in multiple studies and used by millions of users over the last 15 years. T his neurocognitive assessment tool helps evaluate a wide range of cognitive skills, driving style, rule compliance, and mental adaptation related to driving. T he automated report from this test will offer conclusions about the functioning of each of the different brain areas and functions. THE RESULTS FROM THE DRIVING COGNITIVE ASSESSMENTS IS MADE OF THREE PARTS: 01 EVALUAT ED AREAS T he answers from the questionnaire will be focused on the following areas: Rule compliance Mental Adaptation Driving styles 02 COGNIT IVE PROFILE In this section, you will see a circular diagram next to each evaluated area, which will indicate the user's score based on their percentile and normalized for their age and gender. For example, a score of 500 would be calculated depending on the user's age group. CogniFit's values are calculated in percentiles but are shown adjusted on a scale of 0-800. As such, the higher score, the better. Gre e n: Cognitive strengths Ye llow: Below-average cognitive skills Re d: Cognitive weaknesses 03 CONCLUSIONS At the end of the report, you will find: A description of the driving style index, mental adaptation, and road safety compliance. Speci c recommendations and a personalized plan of action.

Driving Cognit ive Assessment DAB 4 01 EVALUATED AREAS Since the 198 0's, researchers have been studying the relatio nship between driving vehicles and human behavior, and have detected certain factors that may put human life at risk while driving a vehicle. So me o f these facto rs are substance co nsumptio n, weather co nditio ns, ro ad co nditio ns, legislatio n, the type o f vehicle, and the driver's mental and co gnitive state and abilities. T HOMAS SHOWS INDICES THAT WE DO NOT CONSIDER TO BE POSITIVE FOR DRIVING CIT Y VEHICLES AND SHOULD BE IMPROVED. DRIVING ST YLES DRIVING S T YLE NOT S PECIFIED Aggressiveness, fear, or prudence are factors related to a driving style that m ay be a risk factor when driving. Making a prudent and thought-out decision can help avoid potential accidents or incidents on the road. 0/5 RULE COMPLIANCE HIGH RIS K Rule com pliance ensures the physical integrity of both pedestrians and drivers. Failure to abide by the code set by the law is a risk factor directly related to a higher accident and fatality rate. 0/6 MENTAL ADAPTATION HIGH RIS K In order to fight against the stress that driving can cause, it is im portant to know our m ental adaptation ability. There are different factors that alter the physical and m ental state of the driver, such as the fact of being several hours behind the wheel, traffic jam s, bad roads, recklessness of other drivers, sleep, em otional state, personal problem s, etc.

Driving Cognit ive Assessment DAB 5 IN DETAIL: AREAS RELATED TO DRIVING RULE COMPLIANCE HIGH RISK T homas presents a low index in rule compliance. Different studies have shown that rule compliance can help prevent accidents on the road. T homas has responded negatively to the following items that are related to proper compliance with road rules and regulations: T hey're respectful of other drivers. T hey like to follow the rules of the road. T hey go the speed limit. T hey have all of the points on their license. Can control stress and irritability when driving. MENTAL ADAPTATION HIGH RISK T homas shows a low score in mental adaptation. Mental adaptation prevents us from the stress and mental fatigue caused by driving. T homas has responded negatively to the following items that are related to proper mental aadaptation: Endures driving for 2-3 hours without tiredness (drowsiness, eye discomfort, mental fatigue). T hey adapt well to the changes and unforeseen events that may arise during a trip (traffic jams, weather changes, car breakdowns) On long trips, they volunteer to drive. T hey use their car for work. T hey drive more than 10 hours per week. T hey tend to stay calm in traffic jams or when another driver obstructs traffic.

Driving Cognit ive Assessment DAB 6 DRIVING STYLES DRIVING ST YLE NOT SPECIFIED Due to T homas's answers related to driving pattern, no predominant driving style has been found. Prudent driving style Aggressive driving style Nervous driving style THOMAS 'S PROFILE LOW RIS K MODERATE RIS K HIGH RIS K

Driving Cognit ive Assessment DAB 7 02 COGNITIVE PROFILE In this section, you will see a circular diagram next to each evaluated area, which will indicate the user's score based on their percentile and normalized for their age and gender. For example, a sco re o f 500 wo uld be calculated depending o n the user's age gro up. Co gnifit's values are calculated in percentiles but are shown adjusted on a scale of 0-800. As such, the higher score, the better. REASONING T HOMAS'S COGNIT IVE PROFILE SHOWS INDICES THAT WE CONSIDER TO BE MODERAT ELY POSIT IVE FOR DRIVING CIT Y VEHICLES AND COULD BE IMPROVED. 155/800 Ability to efficiently use (organize, relate, etc.) acquired inform ation. MEMORY 167/800 Ability to retain and m anipulate new inform ation and recover past m em ories. ATTENTION 284/800 The ability to filter distractions and concentrate on relevant inform ation. COORDINAT ION 207/800 The ability to efficiently and precisely carry out organized m ovem ents. PERCEPT ION 214/800 Ability to interpret stim uli from the environm ent.

Driving Cognit ive Assessment DAB 8 MODERAT E RISK COMPLETE COGNITIVE REPORT FOR THOMAS Thomas has presented a pro le that is compatible with a moderat e cognit ive risk. The results from the different tasks in this cognitive assessment show that Thomas's areas of improvement are reasoning, memory, attention, coordination and perception. We recommend bringing t his inf ormat ion t o a prof essional in order to better interpret the skills with lower scores. Reasoning Perception Memory Coordination Attention THOMAS 'S PROFILE LOW RIS K MODERATE RIS K HIGH RIS K

Driving Cognit ive Assessment DAB 9 IN DETAIL: COGNITIVE AREAS USED IN DRIVING REASONING 155/800 155 SHIFTING Score Received: 155 T homas received low scores in the area of shifting. Shifting is the brain's ability to adapt behavior and thoughts to new, changing, or unexpected situations. It is the ability to anticipate problems, make decisions, create alternative solutions, as well as take the initiative to adapt behavior depending on the situation. MEMORY 167/800 167 VISUAL SHORT TERM MEMORY Score Received: 167 T homas has received low scores in this cognitive skill. Visual short-term memory is the ability to remember visual information over a short period of time. ATTENTION 284/800 317 INHIBITION Score Received: 317 T homas received moderate scores in the area of inhibition. Inhibition is the ability to ignore irrelevant stimuli or suppress irrelevant reactions when carrying out a task. For example, you may use inhibition when stopping at a stoplight that just turned red, even though you're in a hurry. 86 DIVIDED ATTENTION Score Received: 86 T homas received a low score in divided attention. Divided attention is what makes it possible for us to control everything that is happening around us at the same time. When driving, this may include paying attention to tra c signs, mirrors, speed, etc., while talking to a friend or listening to the radio.

Driving Cognit ive Assessment DAB 10 448 FOCUSED ATTENTION Score Received: 448 T homas received high scores in this cognitive skill. Focus attention makes it possible for the driver to stay alert during long trips that may be tiresome and monotonous. Focus attention makes it possible to pay attention to relevant stimuli while inhibiting those that may be irrelevant. COORDINATION 207/800 134 HAND-EYE COORDINATION Score Received: 134 T homas has received a low score in hand-eye coordination. T his skill is the coordination of the hands and eyes. Hand-eye coordination is a complex skill, as it requires the hand to move depending on the visual stimuli that the eyes receive. T his is an essential skill for driving, as it makes it possible to move the vehicle towards the necessary location safely and while avoiding obstacles. 279 RESPONSE TIME Score Received: 279 T homas received moderate scores in response time. T his is the ability to perceive a simple stimulus and respond to it. For example, response time would be the time that it takes to start a motor action to break when you see a pedestrian crossing the street. PERCEPTION 214/800 8 ESTIMATION Score Received: 8 T homas has received low scores in estimation. Estimating speed, direction, or distance is one of the skills that we use constantly as we drive, and is essential to driving safely. For example, if you want to pass a car on the road, you need to estimate your speed and the speed of the other car, and estimate the time and distance to be able to pass the other vehicle safely.

Driving Cognit ive Assessment DAB 11 8 WIDTH OF FIELD OF VIEW Score Received: 8 T homas received low scores in eld-of-view. Safe driving requires us to have a good visual and visual-perceptive skills in order to perceive the environment, as well as visual acuity, a complete width-of-field of view, and the necessary optical corrections. 627 VISUAL SCANNING Score Received: 627 T homas received high scores in visual scanning. Visual scanning is the ability to quickly and e ciently discern between pertinent information in the environment. When we drive, we are bombarded with tra c signs, exits, speed limits, and other information that we need to be mindful of in order to be able to react to any unexpected event. T his cognitive skill is fundamental to driving safely.

Driving Cognit ive Assessment DAB 12 EXECUTIVE FUNCTIONS AND DRIVING Executive functions are sophisticated cognitive skills that make it possible to refine and direct actions, thoughts, and emotions. These executive functions are made up of attention, memory, time management, planning, and shifting, as well as others. Executive functions are mainly located in the prefrontal lobe, and are the most evolved cognitive skills that make it possible to boost and develop abilities. Executive functions help us: Change plans in order t o rect ify errors. Manage t ime. Cont rol aut omat ic behaviors. Supervise act ions t o ensure t hey are being carried out correct ly and wit hout any errors. Predict unexpect ed sit uat ions and consequences. Make goals. Plan and establish the steps to reach a goal. Init iat e, develop, and complet e act ions. Resist int erference, avoiding dist ract ions by irrelevant st imuli. IT IS POSSIBLE THAT THOMAS: INHIBIT ION Needs help st aying calm when faced wit h a problem behind t he wheel. Doesn't usually yield t o ot her cars when they're in a hurry. FOCUSED AT T ENT ION Is able to concentrate easily and is not easily dist ract ed. Completes the things that need to be done quickly and efficient ly. SHIFT ING Has trouble coming up with new plans if one doesn't work. Has trouble creating alternative solutions to a problem or situation. RESPONSE T IME Doesn't usually respond quickly t o unexpect ed changes. Doesn't usually drive comfort ably and fluidly.

Driving Cognit ive Assessment DAB 13 HIGH RISK EXECUTIVE FUNCTION ASSESSMENT FOR THOMAS Thomas received scores in the executive functions that may be a sign of alterations in these skills, which could be a cognitive indicator of the need to train and improve these essential cognitive abilities. Thomas's strongest skill in the area of executive f unctions are f ocused attention, while inhibition, shif ting and response time are areas that need to be improved. We recommend repeating this assessment or talking to a prof essional to discuss the results in the cognitive prof ile. Inhibition Response T ime Focused Attention Shifting THOMAS 'S PROFILE LOW RIS K MODERATE RIS K HIGH RIS K

Driving Cognit ive Assessment DAB 14 03 CONCLUSIONS Thomas presents low or inadequate scores in Evaluated areas. We recommend improving these areas necessary fo r driving. Due to Thomas's answers related to driving pattern, no predominant driving style has been found. In addition to the interpretation of the areas and cognitive pro le assessed, the following criteria must be taken into account by a qualified professional: Ge ne ra l crit e ria f rom t he que st ionna ire t ha t T hom a s re sponde d YES t o: Is right-handed. Frequently uses a computer mouse. Ge ne ra l crit e ria f rom t he que st ionna ire t ha t T hom a s re sponde d NO t o: Uses hearing aids. T heir work requires them to drive. Frequently uses a tablet or touchscreen. Uses glasses or contact lenses. CONCLUSIONS According to the data collected, T homas received scores that could be improved in some areas. We recommend training these areas in order to ensure safe driving. A brain training regimen can help improve all of the cognitive skills outlined in the report. CogniFit offers a series of clinically validated games to help train executive functions and other cognitive skills. Please make sure that all of the questions have been answered carefully and correctly and that the assessment was completed in a quiet room free from distractions, as this may alter results. T he data in this report corresponds to a specific time in T homas's life and may vary over time. COMMENTS
