LifeAdapt estimates your cognitive health along six dimensions.
Reasoning
Reasoning refers to the ability to process information efficiently, make decisions, and solve problems. Traditional assessment of reasoning focus on logical thinking, problem-solving tasks, and decision-making scenarios that require planning and foresights.
Memory
Memory encompasses the processes involved in encoding, storing, and retrieving information. Traditional memory assessment considers short-term memory, long-term memory, and working memory, through oral or visual input. Related tasks are recalling lists of words, remembering stories, or performing actions that require holding information in one’s mind for periods of time.
Processing Speed
Processing speed refers to the pace at which an individual can perceive information, make sense of it, and respond. This is often measured using timed tasks that require quick responses to visual or auditory stimuli, such as reaction time tests and rapid naming tasks.
Mobility
Mobility refers to the ability to move freely, easily, and efficiently. The ability may involve gross motor skills (like walking or jumping) and fine motor skills (like writing or buttoning a shirt). This is commonly measured using physical performance tests such as walking speed, writing/typing speed, balance, and range of motion.
Function
Function generally refers to the ability to perform important daily activities that encompass both physical and cognitive components. This can be assessed by determining how efficiently and correctly basic and complex routine activities are performed.
Mood
Mood refers to a person’s internal emotional state. This is traditionally measured using psychological questionnaires, interview, and self-report.
