Abstract: Visual attention is ubiquitous in cognitive research; however, its potential as a clinicalscreening tool has been largely neglected. This concept paper illustrates how the “targetswitching” search paradigm could be harnessed as a cost-effective alternative to the currentscreening measures for assessing cognitive impairments/decline, such as the MMSE orMoCA. Practical and ecological advantages are also discussed in conjunction. The currentpaper presents a guide for facilitating such research, while identifying implications forclinical use and future avenues.
