          were there might be gaps in the current research; priorities as well 
          as direction to be established for future disability research. Voting 
          standards topics reviewed:
        Classification 
          of disabilities research (cognitive, psychiatric, aging impaired etc.)
        Use of audio/ 
          video and synchronization
        Use of plain 
          language and simple instructions
        Use of icons 
          and graphics
        definition of 
          cognitive disabilities in various environments; good example by WQ- 
          "self identifying is not likely by some voters" ; Also conscious 
          decision in VVSG to put cognitive disability requirements within general 
          requirements where possible.
        cognitive disability 
          can also describe those who have learning disabilities (example, ADD), 
          memory that has been compromised due to injury, stroke or also issues
