THE SCIENCE OF COGNITIVE ASSESSMENTS

Cognitive changes can start in the brain 20 years before showing up in everyday life. Through regular monitoring, an individual can detect changes early on and take action to preserve and enhance their cognition.

The CerebroCore Cognitive Assessments are not diagnostic. They are designed to screen for more serious cognitive issues and to use as a baseline to measure cognitive improvement.

These unique online digital cognitive assessments provide a complete mental assessment, designed to screen, assess the possibility of memory and attention impairment, and to monitor progress throughout the program.

The initial assessment is administered at the beginning of the program and, depending on your performance, your doctor may send you for further neurological tests. The Assessments are then administered periodically throughout the course of care and scores from each Assessment will demonstrate your progress throughout the program.

Aspects of Cognition Being Assessed

FOCUSED ATTENTION

The brain’s ability to concentrate its attention on a target stimulus for any period of time. Focused attention is a type of attention that makes it possible to quickly detect relevant stimuli.

VISUAL SHORT-TERM MEMORY

The ability to retain a small amount of visual information (letters, shapes, colors, numbers, etc.) over a short period of time.

AUDITORY SHORT-TERM MEMORY

The ability to take in the information that is presented orally, process it, retain it in the brain and then recall it. The retention of auditory information to allow time for comprehension and for word recognition

VISUAL WORKING MEMORY

The visual information retained so that it can be quickly accessed to serve the needs of ongoing tasks.

AUDITORY WORKING MEMORY

Involves being able to take in information that is presented orally, to process that information, store it in one’s mind and then recall what one has heard.

SEQUENTIAL MEMORY

The skill that requires a student to remember the order or sequence of numbers, items, pictures, and/or words after viewing them.

MEMORY ACQUISITION

The procedure of copying the contents of physical memory to another storage device in the brain for preservation.

EPISODIC MEMORY

A category of long-term memory that involves the recollection of specific events, situations, and experiences.

MEMORY PROCESSING

This refers to the processes that is used to acquire, retain, and later retrieve information.
