Cognitive Performance

Cognitive Performance

Cognitive performance is a composite function that involves a combination of tasks from processing incoming sensory input, to the integration of that sensory input, to the attentional mechanisms associated with the cognitive interpretation of such sensory input and the association with previously experienced or learned information, resulting in the final processes of developing appropriate responses based upon multiple factors. Because this complex series of events requires accurate timing and communication, neuro-training interventions can be quite effective at facilitating the various sub processes and also the integration of all of these tasks into a coherent whole. Accurate assessment of deficits in cognitive processing can allow one to address the areas that are outside of desirable parameters and ultimately result in an improvement in general cognitive performance.
