The Cognitive Assessment for Dyscalculia Patients (CAB-DC) from CogniFit is a leading professional tool made up of tests and tasks, aimed at quickly detecting and evaluating the symptoms, traits, and dysfunctions in the cognitive processes affected by dyscalculia.
This innovative online dyscalculia test is a resource that provides a complete cognitive screening, making it possible to understand cognitive strengths and weaknesses, and evaluates the users risk index for dyscalculia. This test is aimed at children 7 years and older, teens, and adults. Any user, whether an individual or a professional, can easily use this neuropsychological assessment battery.
The results of the assessment are available automatically after completing the assessment, which usually lasts about 30-40 minutes.
This learning disorder indicates a significant and persistent learning difficulty that affects the linguistic abilities associated with mental calculations. Clinical history and the evaluation of different areas, especially neuropsychology, are still the most effective tools to diagnose dyscalculia. Note that CogniFit does not directly offer a medical diagnosis of dyscalculia. We recommend using this dyscalculia test to complement a professional diagnosis, and never as a replacement for a clinical consultation.
Digitalized protocol for the evaluation of dyscalculia (CAB-DC)
Digitalized protocol for the evaluation of dyscalculia (CAB-DC)
This complete cognitive evaluation for the detection of dyscalculia is made up of a questionnaire and a complete battery of neuropsychological tests. It usually takes about 30-40 minutes to complete.
The person taking the test will answer a short questionnaire, which will evaluate the signs and symptoms for the user’s age, and will present the cognitive tasks directly after in the form of simple online games.
Well-being Questionnaire
A series of simple questions will be presented on-screen to detect the main diagnostic criteria, signs, and symptoms of dyscalculia. The questionnaire will adapt to the user’s age and will present questions appropriate for each age range.
Neuropsychological factors and cognitive profile
The CAB-DC will continue with a battery of tasks designed to evaluate the man cognitive factors shown to be affected by this learning disorder, paying close attention to executive functions. This test will use scales and tasks for each user’s age.
Complete results report
After completing the dyscalculia assessment, you will automatically receive a detailed report, where you will see the risk index of having dyscalculia (low-medium-high), warning signs, cognitive profile, results analysis, recommendations, and guidelines. The results offer valuable information, and makes it possible to identify support strategies or recommendations to see a specialist for more in-depth testing.
Psychometric Results
Psychometric Results
The Cognitive Assessment for Dyscalculia Patients (CAB-DC) from CogniFit uses patented algorithms and artificial intelligence (AI), which makes it possible to analyze thousands of variables and detect a possible risk of dyscalculia with very satisfactory psychometric results.
The cognitive profile from the neuropsychological report has a high reliability, consistency, and stability. Transversal research designs, like the Cronbach Alpha coefficient, were followed and reached scores of rougly 0.9. The Test-Restest analyses reached scores of close to 1.0, which shows high reliability and precision.

When should this dyscalculia test be used?
When should this dyscalculia test be used?
This assessment battery makes it possible to reliably detect the risk of presenting dyscalculia in children 7 years and older and adults.
We recommend using this test for anyone who you may suspect has dyscalculia. The early detection of this learning disorder can help minimize developmental difficulties and start an appropriate intervention program suitable for each profile.
This assessment battery also makes it possible for adults to understand their risk index for having dyscalculia. Many adults have lived their entire lives with dyscalculia and were never aware of the dysfunction. And, while they may have a normal, or even above average IQ, they may have been considered poor students. Without the early detection and proper management of this learning disorder, adults with dyscalculia may have problems at work or in social situations.
Below are some of the most representative symptoms of dyscalculia:
Difficulties with mathematical calculations
People with dyscalculia have trouble processing mathematical language, which makes it difficult to do mathematical processes like adding, subtracting, multiplying, and dividing.
Difficulties recognizing mathematical symbols
People with dyscalculia may confuse symbols like “+” or “-“, which may create problems when using and applying them to mathematical operations.
Problems aligning mathematical operations
It is common to have trouble changing a vertically written math problem horizontally and vice versa. With operations like multiplication or division, someone with dyscalculia may have trouble aligning the right numbers and symbols in order to get the correct answer.
Difficulties understand spoken word problems
May present difficulties remembering the information given in the word problem, which can make it very difficult, or even impossible, to correctly write and carry-out the correct mathematical operation. It is also common to have trouble differentiating relevant and irrelevant information.
General symptoms
Aside from the purely mathematical problems, people living with dyscalculia may also have trouble telling time, they may get lost often, and they may have poor orientation.

Description of the diagnostic criteria questionnaire
Description of the diagnostic criteria questionnaire
Dyscalculia is characterized by a series of clinical signs and symptoms. These indicators can help you understand the risk of someone having this learning disorder. This is why the first part of the Cognitive Assessment for Dyscalculia Patients (CAB-DC) is a questionnaire made of questions that have been adapted to the diagnostic criteria and symptoms of dyscalculia for each age range.
The questions presented here are similar to those that can be found in a diagnostic manual, questionnaire, or evaluation scales. However, they have been simplified to be easily understood by almost any user.
Made up of a series of simple questions that should be answered by a parent or the professional in charge of the assessment. The questionnaire will cover the following domains: Mathematical language (comprehension of the mathematical symptoms, their meaning, and representation), Mathematical reasoning (numeric thinking, problem solving, logic, etc.), Social relationships (caused by frustration and frustration that may these math problems may have caused), Learning and development (dyscalculia is related to different familiar and developmental factors).
A series of simple questions that can be completed by the professional in charge of the evaluation or by the person taking the test. The questionnaire will cover the following domains: Mathematical language (comprehension of mathematical symptoms, their meaning, and representation), Mathematical reasoning (numeric thinking, problem solving, logic, etc.), Academic history (due to the relation between dyscalculia and academic failure), Professional and social areas (difficulties with the relationship of calculations and daily life).
