Dot cancellation test

The Dot cancellation test or Bourdon-Wiersma test is a commonly used test of combined visual perception and vigilance.^[1]^[2]

The test has been used in the evaluation of stroke where subjects were instructed to cross out all groups of 4 dots on an A4 paper. The numbers of uncrossed groups of 4 dots, groups of dots other than 4 crossed, and the time spent (maximum, 15 minutes) were taken into account.^[2] The Group-Bourdon test, a modification of the Bourdon-Wiersma, is one of a number of psychometric tests which trainee train drivers in the UK are required to pass.^[3]^[4]

The test is based on the work of French psychologist Benjamin B. Bourdon.^[5]^[6]
