Testing precedes training. Computerized tests are
used to measure the brain’s ability to focus,
overall cognitive functioning and memory. Cognitive
testing is an important first step in the treatment
of ADHD, Age-Related Cognitive Decline and Minor
Traumatic Brain Injury. For example, if you’re 50 or
older you may feel that your memory is failing. But
is it? How does your present memory compare to
others of the same age? How does it compare to the
population in general? Testing answers those
questions and helps you to decide whether or not
treatment is needed. Test(s) are re-administered
after training.
In addition to computerized tests, symptom-check-lists may also be needed to diagnose ADHD, depression, anxiety and many other disorders. More is needed than a sense that one is feeling better or mentally sharper. Progress ought to be measured. |
