CANTAB Description
The Cambridge Neuropsychological Test Automated Battery, (CANTAB), was originally developed by the University of Cambridge. It measures cognitive function in a highly sensitive, objective, and precise manner, and is correlated with neural networks. CANTAB tests are sensitive to changes in neuropsychological performance. They include tests of working memory and learning, executive function, visual, verbal, episodic memory, attention, information processing, reaction time, social and emotion recognition, decision-making and response control. Cognitive assessments are an invaluable tool for understanding the role of specific brain functions across a variety of disorders and syndromes. They provide insight into the underlying causes and identify ways to detect the earliest symptoms. They also evaluate the effects of interventions to improve brain health.
