Cognitive testing uses structured tasks, on paper or on a computer, to measure memory, attention, processing speed and reasoning, and scores you against people of a similar age.

Taken while you are well, the result is a baseline, so a change years later can be measured rather than guessed at. A single result is a snapshot, and sleep, stress, language and familiarity with the test can all move it.

Cognitive Testing: common questions

Which clinics in Denver-Boulder list cognitive testing?

3 in our Denver-Boulder guide: Colorado Center for Medical Excellence, National Jewish Health Executive Health and Pure Family Medicine.

Can I prepare for it?

Sleep well and take it on an ordinary day. Being tired, stressed or unwell can lower a score.

Is a low score a diagnosis?

No. It is a reason to look more closely, and a physician would take other steps before drawing any conclusion.
