Comprehensive evaluation for adults experiencing memory loss, cognitive changes, or concerns about mild cognitive impairment or dementia.
A memory and dementia evaluation may be helpful when there are concerns about changes in memory, thinking, language, problem solving, or daily functioning. The goal is to clarify the pattern and possible causes of cognitive change.
A memory and dementia evaluation examines several areas of cognitive functioning to help identify the pattern of strengths and weaknesses and clarify possible causes of cognitive change.
Learning, retention, and recall of new information.
Focus, concentration, mental efficiency, and speed of information processing.
Planning, organizing, problem solving, cognitive flexibility, and self-monitoring.
Word retrieval, verbal comprehension, naming, and related language abilities.
Visual perception, spatial reasoning, and constructional abilities.
Changes in everyday functioning, mood, behavior, and other factors that may affect cognition.
A memory and dementia evaluation typically includes several steps designed to clarify the pattern, severity, and possible causes of cognitive change.
We briefly discuss the cognitive concerns, relevant history, and whether a memory evaluation is the appropriate next step.
