Cognitive testing uses structured tasks, on paper or on a computer, to measure memory, attention, processing speed and reasoning, and scores you against people of a similar age.

Taken while you are well, the result is a baseline, so a change years later can be measured rather than guessed at. A single result is a snapshot, and sleep, stress, language and familiarity with the test can all move it.
