Cognitive Performance Index

Meaning

The Cognitive Performance Index is a composite, standardized metric that aggregates scores from multiple distinct cognitive function tests into a single, comprehensive value. This index provides a high-level, easily interpretable measure of overall brain efficiency and mental acuity. It is used in clinical and research settings to track changes in cognitive health over time, assess the efficacy of interventions, and correlate brain function with hormonal biomarkers or lifestyle factors. A higher index generally signifies superior mental processing, memory, and executive control. This single value simplifies the communication of complex neurocognitive data.
