After completing the modules 1-4, you are strongly encouraged to practice administering the full CNB a minimum of 4 times (start to finish) to a practice participant before you record your Standardized Assessment video. **The best way to record the video is to use a video conference software (ex: Zoom, Teams, GoTo Meeting, BlueJeans) as your "meeting room". **

To initiate a practice session, log in WebCNB (https://webcnp.med.upenn.edu/assessments.pl) using the credentials below.

Username: training

Password: CNB2023!

Once you are logged in, refer to the administrator manual, especially section “Assessment Procedures” for steps on initiating a testing CNB session. This account is only for use in practice sessions and should NOT be used to assess participants upon completion of the CNB training process.

You will need to administer BOTH batteries (administer the SPLLT battery first, followed by the NOSPLLT battery) to administer the "full CNB assessment". Please refer to the Full Assessment Video in the CNB Training and Certification Platform for procedures. For specific instructions on administering the SPLLT, please refer to section 3.7 of the administrator manual.

NOTE: You will need to create a unique SubjectID in order to administer the battery. For practice purposes, the unique SUBJECT ID for the two links should be your initials followed by the date in MMDDYYYY format. For example, the test links for Eirini Zoupou’s CNB Standardized Assessment session would have the subject ID of '=EZ08312021' for the assessment date of August 31, 2021

Do review the About Virtual Assessments section for details on how to create the Subject ID if you are unsure of how to proceed.

Helpful advice from the CNB Team:

  • Make sure both your camera is on AND the participant’s camera is on before you start the CNB
    • The person who is “completing the battery” (aka clicking the buttons to respond to the trials) will be sharing their screen for that portion of the assessment.
    • So for example, you would start by creating the link for the practice participant with the SPLLT task ONLY link.
      • Instead of sending them the link you open the link for the SPLLT test (which has the participant's ID embedded on the end) on YOUR screen.(Remember, you dont send them the SPLLT link BECAUSE by sending the link to them, this action allows them to click on the buttons and effectively score their own data)
    • You SHOULD NOT share your screen during the SPLLT test administration The CNB Team will be able to determine the validity and the administration of the SPLLT based on the audio from the participant (in the video) and the scores entered in the database.
    • When the SPLLT test is done (that’s the only test part of that battery), you will send them the link for the remainder battery, ask them to open the link on their computer, then share their screen.
