Cognitive Assessment

Structured evaluation of cognitive abilities — attention, memory, executive function, language, visuospatial processing, and more — using standardized tasks, questionnaires, or interactive assessments. Cognitive assessments support clinical diagnosis, screening for decline or developmental difference, intervention planning, and research. Accessibility considerations are significant: assessment tools built around neurotypical adult populations often confound motor, sensory, or comprehension demands with the cognitive construct they intend to measure, producing biased results when administered to children, neurodivergent individuals, or people with motor or language disabilities. Game-based, adaptive, and co-designed assessments are emerging to reduce these confounds and produce cleaner cognitive data.
