memory assessment tools

Memory assessment tools are standardized tests used by healthcare professionals to evaluate an individual's memory function. They help identify if there are issues with memory, understand their severity, and distinguish normal aging from possible cognitive disorders. These tools often involve tasks like recalling lists, stories, or images, and may include questionnaires about daily memory challenges. The results assist in diagnosing conditions such as dementia or other cognitive impairments, guiding treatment decisions and planning for support or interventions. They are valuable, objective measures that provide insight into how well a person’s memory is functioning.
