Frequently Asked Questions
What is a Cognitive Function Test?
A Cognitive Function Test is a comprehensive assessment that evaluates memory, attention, concentration, language, reasoning, problem-solving, and other thinking abilities. It helps identify cognitive changes associated with ageing, Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI), dementia, Alzheimer’s disease, brain injury, or other neurological conditions.
Is forgetfulness always a sign of dementia?
No. Forgetfulness can occur due to normal ageing, stress, anxiety, depression, poor sleep, vitamin deficiencies, medication side effects, or other medical conditions. A professional Memory Assessment can help determine the possible cause and whether further evaluation is needed.
Can a Cognitive Function Test diagnose Alzheimer's disease or dementia?
A Cognitive Function Test provides valuable information about memory and other cognitive abilities and can identify patterns that may suggest dementia or Alzheimer’s disease. However, it is not a standalone diagnostic test. A diagnosis should always be confirmed through a comprehensive medical evaluation by the appropriate healthcare professional.
How long does the assessment take?
Most assessments take 90–120 minutes, depending on individual needs.
What is the difference between a Memory Test and a Cognitive Function Test?
A Memory Test primarily measures memory performance, while a Cognitive Function Test provides a broader evaluation of brain function. It assesses memory, attention, executive functioning, language, visuospatial skills, processing speed, and daily functioning to give a more complete picture of cognitive health.
How much does a Cognitive Function Test cost?
The cost of a Cognitive Function Test depends on the type of assessment, its duration, and whether it is conducted at our center or as a home visit. We offer different assessment packages based on individual needs.
Please contact us for the latest pricing and to choose the most suitable assessment for concerns such as memory loss, forgetfulness, brain fog, confusion, dementia screening, or Alzheimer’s assessment.

At CheckMyCognition, cognitive assessments are conducted using evidence-based methods by Dr Subodh Kumar (PhD in Psychology).

Our goal is to support early identification, informed decision-making, and better cognitive well-being through professional and scientifically validated assessments.
Why is early cognitive assessment important?
