Take the First Step Toward Understanding Your Cognitive Health
Whether you’re concerned about memory loss, forgetfulness, dementia, Alzheimer’s disease, confusion, or brain fog, early assessment can make a meaningful difference.
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.
