This complete online tool for cognitive assessment for adults over 65 consists of a series of tasks. These tasks are designed to quickly and accurately detect and evaluate various brain functions related to aging.
Users who perform this cognitive assessment begin by answering an initial questionnaire that evaluates the symptoms and clinical signs for their age. They are then given a series of exercises and tasks to perform that are presented in the form of simple computer games.
Well-being Questionnaire
A series of simple questions will be presented; the questions aim to understand the cognitive state as well as the mental, physical, and social well-being of the user.
Neuropsychological factors and cognitive profile
Following the questionnaire, the user continues with a series of tasks designed to evaluate the principle neuropsychological factors identified in the scientific literature for disorders* associated with aging, focusing on areas such as short-term memory, long-term memory, working memory, coordination, attention, and more. Scales, tasks, and assessments are all adjusted based on the age of the participant.
Complete results report
Once the user completes the active aging assessment, they will receive a detailed report with all of the results, where they will be able to find a personalized risk index for the likelihood of suffering cognitive decline associated with aging (low-, medium-, or high-risk). They will also find a list of symptoms, warning signs, a cognitive profile, and an analysis of the results, as well as recommendations and guidelines. The results can offer valuable information and can help to identify strategies for support or decide which specialist can provide additional testing and study the case in more detail.
Psychometric Results
Psychometric Results
The Cognitive Assessment Battery for Adults Over 65 (CAB-AG) employs patented algorithms and artificial intelligence (A.I.) technology to analyze more than a thousand variables and notify the user of any risk of cognitive decline associated with aging through a series of psychometric results.
Each neuropsychological task that appears in the Cognitive Assessment Battery for people over 65 (CAB-AG) has been developed following the scientific method. This ensures appropriate psychometric characteristics for an effective evaluation of cognitive functions and general mental state. The cognitive profile of the neuropsychological report has high reliability, consistency, and stability. By designing transversal studies, we have been able to obtain psychometric statistics with values of almost 0.9 in the Cronbach Alpha coefficient. The Test-Retest values reach nearly 1.0, demonstrating a high degree of reliability.

Description of the diagnostic criteria questionnaire
Description of the diagnostic criteria questionnaire
Changes in cognitive function due to aging can be very serious; in extreme cases, they can even be debilitating. Because of this, any notable change in cognitive ability as we age should be analyzed through a series of assessments. These assessments can offer clues about the presence of a disorder* related to aging. This is why the first step of the Cognitive Assessment Battery for Adults Over 65 (CAB-AG) from CogniFit consists of a questionnaire with tests that probe the principal diagnostic criteria and symptoms of cognitive decline based on the age of the user.
The questions found in the questionnaire are similar to those found in a typical diagnostic manual, clinical interview, or evaluative scale; however, they have been simplified, so they are easily understandable for just about anyone taking the assessment.
The questionnaire consists of a series of easy to answer questions which can be completed by the professional giving the general cognitive assessment, or by the patient themselves. The questionnaire gathers information covering emotional well-being, signs related to loss of cognitive function, difficulties with social relationships, for example, frustration or difficulty understanding social situations due to forgetfulness, missing meetings, or other memory-related issues. The questions representing each area are adapted the day to day routines and activities of adults and seniors.

Naming is the capacity to access a word from our vocabulary to name a specific concept. Anomia, or afasia anomica (the inability to adequately utilize the naming skill) is one of the most common symptoms of various types of Dementia and cognitive decline. Because of this, it is highly recommended that we periodically evaluate this cognitive capacity as we age.

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 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 Deary-Liewald CogniFit Test is a digitized replica of the Deary-Liewald task (Deary et al., 2010). The performance of the task will allow measuring the user's reaction time in simple situations (a single button response) and in more complex situations (four alternative responses).
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.
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.
