Mobile/Tablet Brain Health Assessment Validation Study

Take part in a virtual study aimed at validating a cognitive assessment of memory and attention, developed by scientists at Baycrest. This assessment is designed to detect subtle cognitive changes associated with aging and takes approximately 15 to 30 minutes to complete. You will complete the assessment twice: once on the first day and again one week later, preferably on a mobile/tablet, or on a desktop/computer for the second session. Alternatively, a one-session study is available for those who only have access to a desktop/computer, to help further validate the desktop version of the assessment.To be eligible to participate in the Cogniciti Mobile/Tablet Validation Study you must: 

• Be between the ages of 20-35, 50-65 or 80-95

• Be fluent in English

• Have no significant concerns about your memory, and have no mild cognitive impairment, vascular dementia, Huntington’s disease, Alzheimer’s disease, any cancer treated with chemotherapy, brain tumour, Parkinson’s disease, schizophrenia, or current depression

• Have access to a mobile/tablet and/or a computer

• Be comfortable using a mobile or tablet and/or a computer and have internet access

You are INELIGIBLE to participate if you have previously completed a Cogniciti Brain Health Assessment in the past 6 months.
