Creyos Cognitive Assessment
What would you do if you learned how well you were doing mentally—and where you could improve?
What if you could see exactly what is holding you back, personally or professionally?
Try A Cognitive Assessment
People used to think the brain was static—brain cells only died as you aged. But neuroscience research in the last 15 years has proven that your brain is dynamic and can absolutely continue to grow and develop.
We’ve partnered with scientists at Creyos to bring you the Creyos Assessment, an easy, objective way to assess your overall cognitive function using several different measures including memory, attention, reasoning, and verbal ability.
You can use this new cognitive function assessment to help identify not only areas of strength but also areas that are holding you back personally, socially, and professionally.
How Does It Work?
You can take the convenient, online assessment in the comfort of your home laptop, desktop, or tablet.
The comprehensive assessment will take ~40 minutes and measures the four components of cognition (short-term memory, reasoning, concentration, and verbal ability) using twelve different exercises. Upon completion, you’ll receive a comprehensive report showing how you performed relative to your age and gender.
After you take the assessment we’ll schedule a time together to discuss the results and show you where you’re already strong and most importantly, how the test results might describe some of the challenges you might be experiencing at work, home, or school.
And we can talk about how neurofeedback can train your brain and improve your cognitive ability. This translates to better skill, education, work, and life performance.
What Does It Measure?
Cognition is complex. You may be stronger at one aspect of cognition (e.g., memory), yet weaker in another (e.g., planning or problem solving). This assessment accurately measures the core elements of your cognitive function including memory, reasoning, attention, and verbal ability. It uses cognitive tasks based on classical paradigms from the cognitive psychology literature. The assessment is based on 25 years of research and is very well validated.
We use this assessment to provide an overall picture of your cognitive ability and identify areas where you could use some additional help.
We use it before and after neurofeedback, which provides a quantitative and qualitative view of the efficacy of your treatment.
And we also use it longitudinally, to measure for just how long our clients are receiving continued benefits from neurofeedback, as well as their improved ability to learn and develop their cognitive abilities post-neurofeedback.
To the right is a sample summary report that you can click on to view in full. The report shows you your raw score on each task on the first page compared to others in similar age and gender groups, detailed scores & descriptions for each task you completed, and finally, your progress over time compared to your baseline.
Preparing for the Assessment
Ensure you’re in a comfortable environment, free of distractions, on your home desktop computer or tablet.
When you begin the online assessment, you’ll be presented with online instructions and an interactive tutorial that you can repeat until you’re confident.
After you have completed the assessment, a comprehensive report like you see above will be sent to us for review.
And when you’re ready, we can schedule a time to talk further over the phone or via video chat about the results of the assessment.
Research
Creyos is a leading provider of web-based brain health assessment software for healthcare practitioners and researchers. Their proprietary assessments of brain function and brain health have been developed over the past 25 years, taken over 8 million times and used in over 300 studies published in leading peer-reviewed academic journals. As a result, they maintain and possess one of the world’s largest normative databases of cognitive function.
The tasks have been validated in studies of patients, brain imaging studies of healthy volunteers and in several large-scale public studies involving tens of thousands of volunteers. They have proven to be efficient and sensitive measures of baseline cognitive capacity. For example, in one study, the results of the 30-minute Creyos battery were comparable to those of a standard 2-3 hour (paper and pencil) neuropsychological battery (WAIS-R) (Levine et al., 2013). In another recent study of mental capacity in the elderly, the CBS battery outperformed a standard task of cognitive abilities (the MoCA) (Brenkel et al., 2017). Finally, performance on the Creyos battery is highly predictive of reasoning and problem solving abilities, as indexed by “classic” tasks such as Raven’s Matrices and the Cattell Culture Fair task (Hampshire et al., 2012).
