Abstract
A method of assessing the likelihood that an individual has impulse control disorder. The individual is provided with an actuator, and instructed to actuate the actuator as an acknowledgement of when the individual has completed a reward task. Actuation of the actuator is monitored and recorded. An automated diagnosis of ICD is produced and output, wherein a greater degree of actuation of the actuator by the individual is taken to indicate a greater likelihood that the individual has impulse control disorder.
