Assessment of Cognitive Functioning

Assessment of cognitive functioning involves evaluating various mental abilities such as memory, attention, problem-solving, language, and reasoning. It helps identify strengths and difficulties in thinking processes, which can be affected by conditions like brain injury, dementia, or mental health issues. This process typically includes interviews, standardized tests, and observations to gather comprehensive information. The goal is to understand how well the brain is working, support diagnosis, and guide treatment or interventions to improve or manage cognitive health.
