Cognitive Speed Measurement

Meaning

Cognitive Speed Measurement refers to the quantitative assessment of the rate at which an individual processes information and executes mental tasks, often evaluated in the context of neuroendocrine status. Clinically, it provides an objective metric for cognitive throughput, which can be subtly affected by hormonal fluctuations or deficiencies. This measurement helps delineate performance levels influenced by factors like thyroid status or sex hormone balance. We look for changes in reaction time and decision-making latency as indicators of central nervous system vitality.
