About Cognitive Assessment Cognitive Assessment FAQ Preparing for a Cognitive Assessment Cognitive Assessment is a painless, non-invasive assessment that can assist in the early detection of memory disorders and dementia-related diseases. The test is conducted on a desktop computer using MindstreamsTM advanced interactive software. A Cognitive Assessment is the first step in providing the physician with specific brain function information. With early detection, many cognitive function conditions can be effectively managed or treated. Do you... experience memory loss? misplace things? find yourself getting lost in familiar surroundings? have difficulty learning and remembering names? have problems with performance at work? have problems finding the right words to say? have a traumatic brain or head injury? experience personality changes such as irritability or withdrawal? suffer "whiplash" from a car accident? If you answered "Yes" to any of the questions above, talk with your physician about having a Cognitive Assessment. © 2004 University MRI
