Digitized protocol for the evaluation of the Cognitive Assessment Battery for Adults Over 65 (CAB-AG)

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.

Diagnostic criteria for adults and seniors

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.

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.

Tapping Test

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.

Psychomotor Vigilance Test

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.

Digit Span Test

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.

Deary-Liewald Test

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).

Stroop Test

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.

Naming Test

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 Brain and Aging

The Brain and Aging

Cognitive abilities are closely related to various parts of the brain that work together to help us be effective in our day-to-day activities. With age, these skills become less efficient, so it is crucial to keep an eye on this and proactively stimulate our minds to try to make the impact as small as possible.

Attributing various cognitive functions to specific parts of the brain or body is currently considered a mistake. However, lesional studies found in the neuropsychological scientific literature show that some brain areas are highly involved and related to certain cognitive abilities:

1 Attention

Injuries affecting the reticular formation of the brain stem can result in the patient going into a coma since this structure is closely related to attention. Exogenous attention is related to the right parietal lobe, and, when damaged, hemineglect may appear. Finally, the prefrontal cortex plays an essential role in attention control and concentration; so that when there is a deficit related to this structure, the ability to pay attention is altered.

2 Perception

Many studies have focused on visual perception and auditory perception. Visual perception requires the occipital and parietal lobes, while we use the temporal lobe to process auditory information. Although the amount of scientific literature dedicated to other senses, such as touch, smell, or taste, is far smaller than for sight or sound, it is enough to affirm that the parietal lobe is also in charge of tactile information. In contrast, smell is interpreted in the olfactory bulb and the piriform cortex. Finally, gustatory (taste) perception involves areas of the parietal lobe, the insula, the orbitofrontal cortex, or the cingulate cortex. Sensory information is integrated into the areas of association.

3 Memory

The area of the brain most relevant to memory is the hippocampus. This area is often studied through cases of patients with epilepsy. One of the most famous cases and that has contributed the most information to the study of memory, and the hippocampus has been the case of the patient H.M. However, even though the hippocampus is the main brain region related to memory, other parts of our brain still play significant roles in memory – such as the prefrontal cortex.

4 Executive Functions

Executive functions have a very close relationship with the prefrontal cortex (especially the dorsolateral portion). In fact, this set of cognitive abilities has become known as "Prefrontal Functions." In addition, we also use structures such as the anterior cingulate cortex to perform cognitive functions correctly.

5 Coordination

Coordination relies on brain areas related to motor activity, such as the frontal cortex and the basal ganglia, as well as structures directly responsible for the precision and harmony of movements, such as the cerebellum. Injuries to these structures tend to cause the inability to move some parts of the body or cause erratic and mismatched movements.
