Cognitive Evaluations

Dr. Shnaidman Offers Cognitive Assessments to Objectively Measure Cognitive Trends.  

As part of your psychiatric treatment or your forensic evaluation, standard practice includes objectively assessing areas such as memory, attention, reasoning, and verbal ability — all cognitive abilities you need to function optimally in everyday life. We are pleased to be able to offer objective testing from an industry leader, Cambridge Brain Sciences. This assessment is not a test — it’s a quick checkup on how you’re doing today, like a blood pressure cuff for your brain.

Why is Measuring Cognitive Health Important?

We all have a subjective idea of how our brains are doing — some days we feel “off” or have “brain fog,” while other days we feel like we can take on the world. But how much better are we on the good days? Are lifestyle or health changes making a difference? That’s where objective cognitive assessment is useful. By putting a number to these subjective feelings, we can tailor psychiatric treatment to your unique needs. When your brain is performing at its peak, every activity in your daily life will be easier, from remembering where you parked your car to doing your taxes.

CBS Health: An Engaging and Scientifically-Validated Cognitive Assessment Platform

The CBS Health tasks have been validated by decades of scientific research, and are proven to measure the most important aspects of cognition. Performance is directly linked with the areas of your brain that are active when you’re at your sharpest. But more importantly, the tasks are fun, and only take a few minutes each to complete. Now, not only will you feel better, but you can objectively track how your brain is responding to current therapy and/or medications].
