Description of the diagnostic criteria questionnaire
Description of the diagnostic criteria questionnaire
In order to consider that a person is in good health, they need to be free of any alteration in the three areas of wellbeing. This is why the first step of the Cognitive Assessment Battery (CAB)® PRO consists of a questionnaire with screening tests that help detect alterations in any of the three areas of well-being, adapting the questions to each age bracket.
Physical Well-Being: Recent studies suggest that science holds valuable information about how close the relationship is between physical and mental states. Sleep, diet, and exercise are factors that determine physical well-being and that help determine good cognitive function.
Cognitive or Psychological Wellbeing: Psychological well-being integrates cognitive, affective, and emotional aspects in the different areas of human life. Mental or psychological well-being plays a crucial role in the health of the person and can result in alterations even in physical and social well-being.
Social Wellbeing: Having a rich, constant, and appropriate social environment favors good social health. There is an emotional transfer that happens when we interact with others.
The questionnaire consists of a series of easy-to-answer items that must be completed by the guardian or the professional responsible for the evaluation. The questionnaire collects responses to questions in the following domains: physical well-being (good physical condition), psychological well-being (cognitive and emotional processes in good condition), and social well-being (maintains health and rich social relationships). These questions are adapted to teens and children of this age.
The questionnaire consists of a series of easy-to-answer items that can be completed by the professional responsible for the evaluation, or by the person who performs the general cognitive evaluation test. The questionnaire includes items on the following domains: physical well-being (good physical condition), psychological well-being (cognitive and emotional processes in good condition), and social well-being (maintains health and rich social relationships). These questions are adapted to the routines and activities of adults.

Neuropsychological aspects evaluated: Battery of Tasks
The alteration of one of the cognitive skills, or a disturbance in one of the areas of well-being, may be sufficient to cause difficulties in daily life. A general profile of cognitive abilities can tell us which cognitive abilities are in good or bad condition, and how intense the scope of these possible alterations is.
For a complete profile of the cognitive status of the patient or participant we must measure different cognitive abilities of multiple areas:
Attention
Ability to filter distractions and focus on relevant information. Attention accompanies every cognitive process and is in charge of assigning cognitive resources depending on the relevance of both internal and external stimuli. Good attention skills are necessary for other high-level processes, like memory or planning. Attention is an essential process that requires the use of different parts of the brain, from the brainstem or the parietal cortex, to the prefrontal cortex. However, it seems that the right hemisphere has a predominant role in controlling attention. This cognitive area makes it possible to stay alert and pay attention to the stimuli when other irrelevant distractors are present, concentration for long periods of time, alternating attention between different activities, or dividing attention when two events are happening at the same time. These are the cognitive skills that make up attention and that are calculated in the General Cognitive Assessment.Excellent

Memory
The ability to retain or use new information and recover memories of the past. Memory allows us to store internal representations of knowledge in our brain and retain events from the past to use them in the future. Learning is a key process in memory because it makes it possible to incorporate new information or modify existing information in the previous mental schemas. After this coding and storage, the information, the memory, or the learning should be prepared to be recovered in the future. The hippocampus is a key brain structure in the mnesic process, and works actively during sleep to consolidate the information acquired during the day. These are each of the areas that make up the memory and will be evaluated in Cognitive Assessment of CogniFit:Excellent

Perception
Ability to interpret the stimuli of the environment. Perception is responsible for identifying and making sense of the information received from our sensory organs based on our prior knowledge of the world. Perception is a process that can be given by different senses (like sight, hearing, touch, etc.), and that our brain is responsible for integrating, giving it a sense of whole. The brain areas associated to perception are responsible for uniting the information perceived by the different sensory organs so that we can interact effectively with external stimuli, regardless of the stimulated sensory organ. In order for the perceptual process to be carried out properly, a process of assimilation and understanding of the information received will be necessary. These are each of the cognitive capacities that form the perception and that will be calculated in Cognitive Evaluation of CogniFit.Excellent

Our Digital Cognitive Assessments
CogniFit digital tests are designed to measure a specific areas of cognition and are grouped together to form customized batteries based on the unique requirements of the study design and population. Learn more about our different tests and how they can support the unique needs of your study by exploring the details and demos below.
The Speed Test REST-HECOOR exercise was inspired by the classic test of Fingertip tapping from the assessment battery NEPSY (Korkman et al., 1998). The test-taker is required to keep on clicking for 10 seconds and as rapidly as possible with the mouse, or finger if using a touch-screen device, in a defined area on the screen. Data is collected as the number of clicks during the allocated time, number of clicks inside the defined area and number of clicks outside it.
The Resolution Test REST-SPER was inspired by the classic paradigms Go/No Go Task (Gordon & Caramazza, 1982), Continuous Performance Test (Conners, 1989; Epstein et al., 2001), and the Psychomotor Vigilance Task (Dinges & Powell, 1985). The test-taker is required to rapidly press on circles which appear on the screen and to ignore hexagons should they also appear. Embedded in the task are 16 circles-only items and 8 circles-and-hexagons items. For each item data is collected on response time, response accuracy and cursor distance from target center.
The Processing Test REST-INH was inspired by the classic Stroop test (Stroop, 1935). The test-taker is required to press on the larger of two circles, regardless of the number inscribed in each circle, while ignoring the text that could appear on the top-middle part of the screen. They are then required to press on the higher number regardless of the size of the circle in which the number is inscribed.
The Sequencing Test WOM-ASM is based on the classic direct and indirect digit test of the WAIS-III (Wechsler, 1997). The test-taker is required to remember and reproduce increasingly longer number sequences, which appear, each in its turn, on the screen. The task will begin with a two- -number sequence.
The Estimation Test EST-II is based on the Duration Pattern Test (DPT) (Frota & Pereira, 2003). The test-taker is asked to interrupt an ongoing auditory stimulus so as to reproduce the exact length of time of the previously presented one. In the first part of the task an animated drawing accompanies the stimulus. During the second part of the task, the drawing remains still.
Eye-Hand Coordination Test Fixed Trajectory and Predictable Direction
The Synchronization Test UPDA-SHIF is based on the Vienna Test System (VST) (Whiteside, 2002). In this task the test-taker is required to carefully and precisely track a ball which moves along a path. The distance in pixels between the center of the ball and the cursor moved by the user is considered to calculate the accuracy score.
The Programming Test VIPER-PLAN took as a reference the classic Porteus Maze Test (Porteus, 1950), and the Route finding (NEPSY) (Korkman et al., 1998). The test-taker is presented with several mazes with dead-ends and is required to successfully go through it, from start to end, in the smallest possible number of steps, and as fast as possible.
The Recognition Test WOM-REST is based on the classic tests of Symbol search (WAIS) (Wechsler, 1997), Wisconsin Card Sorting Test (WCST) (Heaton, 1981) and Raven's Progressive Matrices Test (Raven, 1936). In this task, a trio-sequence of objects is presented in the center of the screen. The test-taker is required to memorize these stimuli in a first screen, and to recognize it from among four trio-sequences in a second screen. The number of correct answers is considered to calculate an accuracy percentage.
The Equivalencies Test INH-REST was based on the classic Stroop test (Stroop, 1935). The test-taker is asked to press on the spacebar (go action) only if the color names on the screen are printed in the matching color and to refrain from pressing (no-go) if the color of the letters does not match the printed color name.
Eye-Hand Coordination Test Multidirectional and Unpredictable Direction
The Coordination Test HECOOR was inspired by the classic Trail Making Test (Reitan, 1955), and by the Vienna Test System (Whiteside, 2002). The test-taker is required to track, with the mouse (or on-screen digital joystick, if using a mobile device), a ball moving in an undetermined itinerary.
Visual Working Memory Span Test
The Concentration Test VISMEM-PLAN took as a reference the Corsi block-tapping test (Corsi, 1972; Kessels et al., 2000; Wechsler, 1945). In the first part of the task, some circles, within a fixed array of circles, light up. The test-taker is required to memorize which circles, within the array, have lit up and then try to reproduce the sequence in the right order. In the second part of the task, a delay of 4 secs is added between the first screen and the playback screen, in order to increase the time the user must retain the information.
The Decoding Test VIPER-NAM was inspired by the Boston Naming Test (Kaplan et al., 1983) and by the vocabulary test from the WAIS-III (Wechsler, 1997). The test-taker is required to click on the first letter, among four of them, that spells the name of the object depicted on the screen. For example, for the picture of an apple, the test-taker should click on the letter “A” but not on the three incorrect responses (C, P, M) also present on the screen.
Multimodal Lexical Memory Test
The Identification Test COM-NAM is based on the Boston Naming Test (Kaplan et al., 1983) and by the vocabulary test from the WAIS-III (Wechsler, 1997). For each object shown, the test-taker must choose from three possibilities: 1) the item is presented for the first time in the task or 2) the last time it appeared the item was spoken or 3) the last time it appeared the item was presented as a picture.
The Inquiry Test REST-COM took as a reference the classic Boston Naming Test (Kaplan et al., 1983), the vocabulary test from WAIS-III (Wechsler, 1997), the Test of Variables of Attention (Greenberg et al., 1996), and the Rey Auditory Verbal Learning Test (Schmidt, 1994). A series of objects are shown. In a new series of objects, the test-taker must then recognize only those objects that were previously displayed. This new series could be presented as images or as spoken words.
The Estimation Test EST-I was inspired by the Biber Cognitive Estimation Test (Goldstein et al., 1996). In the first part, the test-taker is required to determine which of two balls moves faster. In the second part, another ball is added. In the third part, a fourth ball is added and it should be indicated which ball moves twice as fast as a designated ball (the red one). In the fourth part, while watching four balls moving in four separate itineraries, the test- -taker must determine as quickly as possible which ball will arrive at a given point first.
The Estimation Test EST- III is based on the Biber Cognitive Estimation Test (Goldstein et al., 1996). The first part consists of indicating which of the objects on the screen is farther away from the user. The second part consists of indicating which of the objects is farther away from a pink ball, also located on the screen. The third part consists of indicating which two objects are at the same distance from the pink ball. The fourth part consists of indicating which object is not at the same distance from the pink ball. Finally, the fifth part is to indicate which of the images has the objects spatially arranged differently from the model.
The Simultaneity Test DIAT-SHIF stems from the classic Stroop test (Stroop, 1935), the Vienna Test System (Whiteside, 2002), and the Test of Variables of Attention (Greenberg et al., 1996). The test-taker is required to accurately follow a ball moving and turning in all directions on the screen while, at the same time, performing a variant of the Stroop test.
