IQ and Cognitive Testing

What is Cognitive Testing?
Cognitive testing assesses a wide range of abilities, including attention, memory, problem-solving, language skills and intellectual reasoning.

Reasons for Performing Cognitive Testing
Ways in which cognitive testing may be useful include:
  • Assessing for cognitive or developmental delays.
  • Diagnosing mental retardation.
  • Assessing the effects of brain damage.
  • Assessing for giftedness.
