Neurocognitive Speed

Meaning

Neurocognitive speed is the measurable rate and efficiency at which an individual processes information, makes decisions, and executes a cognitive response. This metric reflects the processing capacity of the central nervous system, encompassing reaction time, perceptual speed, and the rapidity of complex thought. Declines in neurocognitive speed are a common early indicator of age-related neurological changes or subtle hormonal imbalances.
