understanding your cognitive profile

what is a cognitive assessment

Cognitive assessment helps clarify reasoning, problem-solving, working memory, and processing speed. It can support education planning, understanding learning efficiency, and guiding supports. Moi Clinic offers cognitive assessment testing in Rowville and Frankston for children, teens and adults.

Areas that are tested for in a cognitive test include:

  • Verbal comprehension: Interpreting, defining and reasoning about language.
  • Perceptual / visual-spatial reasoning: Viewing patterns and resolving problems using shapes/visual data.
  • Fluid reasoning (for children only): Assessing a child’s ability to solve new problems and understand abstract relationships.
  • Working memory: Remembering and dealing with information in mind briefly.
  • Processing speed: Quick visual discriminations with time constraints which are accurate.

getting curious about your cognitive functioning

what can a cognitive assessment help with

  • An overall cognitive profile (including index-level strengths and relative vulnerabilities)
  • Interpretation focused on real-world learning and functioning, not just numbers
  • Recommendations for learning supports, pacing, environmental adjustments, and therapy targets where relevant
  • We offer reasonable adjustments to support access, including breaks, sensory accommodations, and alternative pathways where clinically appropriate.
  • For clients with communication differences, we can discuss non-verbal or reduced-language approaches depending on the referral question
