Cognition aids: The Medmento Memory Test
The Medmento Memory Test is a variant of the Free and Cued Selective Reminding Test, FCSRT, with pictures.(*)
The FCSRT is a renowned neuropsychological test that measures your ability to learn and retain new information. The test has proved to be sensitive to early signs of memory decline, and is often used by professionals to evaluate individuals with suspected mild cognitive impairment or dementia.
The Medmento test presents you with a series of pictures. You are asked to remember the pictures and recall them later. You will be given hints to help you remember the pictures you were unable to recall on your own.
The test can provide a picture of your memory strengths and weaknesses. For example, it can show whether you have difficulty remembering new information or whether you have difficulty recognizing things you have seen before.
The test can be accessed from the "Cognition aids" menu in the Medmento app:
In this phase, a series of objects must be categorized correctly into their correct categories, teaching you the cues that may help you later in recalling all the objects later.
In the next phase, free recall, you are asked to remember as many of the objects as possible without cues.
In this phase, for all the objects you were unable to remember in the free recall phase, you will be given a cue helping you to try to remember them all.
After completing three rounds of free and cued recall, you will receive your scores.
