Abstract
Cognitive Testing A Tool for Brain Function Assessment
Author(s): Henrik JohanssonCognitive testing has emerged as a cornerstone in understanding the intricacies of human brain function. By systematically evaluating memory, attention, executive function, language, processing speed and visuospatial abilities, cognitive testing provides invaluable insights into both normal and impaired mental processes. While widely applied in clinical, educational and research settings, the significance of cognitive testing often extends beyond mere diagnosis. From tracking developmental milestones in children to assessing the effects of neurological injury or disease in adults, cognitive testing serves as a vital tool for understanding how individuals think, learn and adapt.
