Adult Cognitive Assessment

A cross battery approach is employed utilizing a variety of cognitive tests which are tailored to the individual’s presentation (e.g. WAIS-IV, WRAML-2, WIAT-III, Test of Auditory Processing Skills, Continuous Performance Task, Computerised Neuropsychological Battery, such as measures of memory, information processing efficiency, motor speed and reaction time, and executive function, which are implicated in many mental health issues).

We offer a wide range of assessments which cover many of the broad cognitive factors in
accordance with a comprehensive model of cognition (CHC theory), in addition to clinically meaningful integrative functions (i.e. executive functioning). This includes measures of:

• Crystallized verbal knowledge, language and reasoning (Gc)
• Fluid reasoning skills (Gf)
• Visuo-spatial processing (Gv)
• Auditory processing skills (Ga)
• Short-term working memory and attentional control (Gsm)
• Processing speed (Gs)
• Long-term memory and retireval for verbal and non-verbal information (Glr)
• Achievement skills – reading and writing (Grw)
• Quantitative Reasong and Mathematics Skills (Gq)
