Neurocognitive Test

This test helps with evaluation of patients with memory problems and attention deficit disorder. Can be used as a screening tool for mild cognitive impairment and dementia. BrainCheck assesses a wide range of cognitive domains including reaction time, immediate and delayed recall, cognitive processing, executive function, visual attention, task switching and coordination.

  • Memory:The Immediate and Delayed Recognition tests assesses patients' ability to recognize items. These tests predominantly determine function in the temporal lobe, as well as in the frontal, parietal, and occipital lobes.
  • Attention:Trail Making A & B are established neuropsychological tests that measure visual search speed, scanning, processing speed, mental flexibility, and executive functioning. These tests provide insight into cognitive function in the frontal lobe, and also in the parietal and occipital lobes.
  • Executive Function:BrainCheck uses two well-established tests to assess executive function. The Digit-Symbol Substitution test measures processing speed and accuracy, and the Stroop Color and Word test measures reaction time required to overcome cognitive interference. These tests assess function primarily in the frontal lobe, as well as in the parietal, temporal, and occipital lobes.
