What The Cerebral Initiative App measures
The Cerebral Initiative App helps individuals in high-performance environments track critical functions of their brain health. The solution employs an evidence driven toolbox to monitor cognitive health across four key cognitive health dimensions.
Processing Speed
The speed at which an individual identifies, manipulates, and responds to information. It refers to how efficient you are able to think and learn. People with this ability are able to undertake life activities like goal setting, decision making, and paying attention more easily.
Cognitive Flexibility
Ability to switch between different responses, select non-automatic behaviours, and change strategies. It is the ability to seek novel solutions to problems and be open-minded and adaptive in various situations.
Working Memory
Ability of the brain to temporarily and efficiently hold and manipulate information. It involves the temporary retention of information across several seconds and is important in our ability to conduct a variety of everyday tasks, including reasoning and decision making.
Divided Attention
Ability to pay attention to more than one item at the same time. It is essential to daily living as it is solicited during activities such as cooking with friends or driving whilst listening to the radio or phone.
