SAM3 Expertise Areas: Cognition

The assessment of cognition and specifically cognitive change is an emerging area of research and SAM3 researchers are exploring this through a number of methods.

Cognition Assessment Methods

  • Performance of Activities of Daily Living
  • Computer based assessment including Serious Games
  • Driving
