The Purpose of Neurocognitive Testing

The Purpose of Neurocognitive Testing - Geo Psychological Testing

Neurocognitive testing is a non-invasive way to measure brain function and health. Clients seeking this testing will undergo a series of tests and be asked to perform small tasks that will assess memory, perception, attention, problem-solving, motor function, ability to learn, and so much more. What purpose do these results serve? How does this knowledge benefit the client? Geo Psychological Testing is here to answer your questions:

 

The Benefits

If a client’s neurocognitive functions are below average, it is important that these issues are addressed before they progress. Much of what is measured in this testing is indicative of greater issues, such as social strains, learning disabilities, disease, brain injury, emotional disorders, and brain changes. 

Neurocognitive testing may reveal why a child is struggling in school and what learning styles are better suited for their needs. This testing can detect potentially life-threatening diseases, like Parkinson’s and Dementia, in their early stages. This testing can explain behavioral changes and problems. 

Many issues involving brain health cannot be reversed, which is why it is so important to catch these issues early on. With testing, clients can take action before their functions worsen and pose greater issues in the future. Preventative action is key to maintaining brain health and function!
