The BRIEF-2 is the second edition of the widely popular rating scale of executive function that continues to be as efficient, comprehensive, and consistent with current models as its predecessor. The assessment includes rating forms for teachers and parents (for ages 5-18), and a self-report form fo…

The Self-Report Form is designed to be completed by adults 18-90 years of age, including adults with a wide variety of developmental, systemic, neurological, and psychiatric disorders such as attention disorders, learning disabilities, autism spectrum disorders, traumatic brain injury, multiple scle…

The BRIEF-P consists of a single rating form used by parents, teachers, and day care providers to rate a child's executive functions within the context of his/her everyday environments - home and preschool. The original Behavior Rating Inventory of Executive Function (BRIEFtrade;) was the basis for …

Features and Benefits Based on the latest neuroscience research on human memory. Brief and easy to administer yet comprehensive: covers core verbal and visual memory domains with only a few subtests. Uses common, real-life scenarios and colourful, developmentally appropriate stimuli that are engag…

The CAS2 Extended Battery has three subtests in each of the four PASS scales. The Core Battery includes two subtests from each of the four PASS scales. Each PASS scale as well as the CAS2 Full Scale yields a standard score with a mean of 100 and a standard deviation of 15.Planning: a cognitive proce…

The CTT uses numbered coloured circles and universal sign language symbols. The circles are printed with vivid pink or yellow backgrounds that are perceptible to colourblind individuals. For the Colour Trails 1 trial, the respondent uses a pencil to rapidly connect circles numbered 1 through 25 in s…

Research conducted after the publication of the original Dementia Rating Scale (DRS) showed that both age and education contribute significantly to DRS sub-scale and total scores. This finding, along with several other factors provided the impetus for the development of the DRS-2. The DRS-2 measures…

Memory complaints and memory impairments are frequently identified after brain damage. These memory deficits can be relatively mild, such as mild cognitive impairment, or more severe cognitive damage, as, for example, can be suffered after strokes. With dementia, episodic memory is the most affected…

The MMSE-2 retains the clinical utility and efficiency of the original MMSE. With a standard version that is equivalent to the original MMSE and new brief and expanded forms, the MMSE-2 expands its usefulness in populations with milder forms of cognitive impairment, including subcortical dementia. I…

The NAB consists of six modules: a Screening Module and five domain-specific modules - Attention, Language, Memory, Spatial, and Executive Functions. Each of the six NAB modules is self-contained and may be administered independently of the other modules. The NAB can be purchased as individual modul…

Results of factor analysis suggest that the RCFT captures five domains of neuropsychological functioning: visuospatial recall memory, visuospatial recognition memory, response bias, processing speed, and visuospatial constructional ability. The Recognition trial measures recognition memory for the e…

The Short Parallel Assessments of Neuropsychological Status (or 'SPANS') is a short battery of cognitive tasks that produce seven reliable index scores including Orientation, Attention/Concentration, Language, Memory/Learning, Visuo-Motor Performance, Efficiency and Cognitive Flexibility. The assess…

The Symbol Digit Modalities Test (SDMT) detects cognitive impairment in less than five minutes. This simple, economical test is an ideal way for busy clinicians to screen for organic cerebral dysfunction in both children (eight years and older) and adults. The SDMT is brief, easy to administer, and …

The TOMAL-2 is a memory battery used for evaluating general and specific memory function for children, adolescents, and adults ages 5 to 59 years 11 months. The standard battery for the TOMAL-2 consists of eight core sub-tests six supplementary sub-tests, and two delayed recall tasks. TOMAL-2 sub-te…

The main conditions leading to anterograde amnesia are the following: Alzheimer's disease: Memory loss develops insidiously and usually reaches a high degree of severity before impairment of other cognitive functions becomes apparent. Although memory impairment is also common in other forms of deme…
