Expert Solution

Ans :-) Cognitive testing also called as neurocognitive testing or psychometric testing. It assesses your ability to think clearly and to determine if any mental condition exits. If so, this testing allows one to determine if said condition is getting worse or better.

The most common tests are :-

(i) Montreal Cognitive assessment (MoCA)

(ii) MMSE

(iii) Mini Cog

All the three tests measures mental function through a series of questions and simple tasks.

Montreal Cognitive assessment :- It is 10-15 minutes test that includes memorizing a short list of words, identifying a picture of animals a copying a drawing of shape or object.

MMSE :- It is test of 7-10 minutes which includes naming the current date, counting backward, identifying everyday objects like pencil, pen etc.

Mini Cog :-It is 3-5 minutes test that includes recalling a three word list of objects and drawing a clock.

Cognitive testing is used for screening mild Cognitive impairment (MCI). People with MCI may notice changes in their memory and other mental functions.
