Abstract
Addenbrook's Cognitive Examination is a neuropsychological battery designed to capture individuals with suspected dementia syndrome. It has important place among other screening methods as it quickly assesses various number of information about general cognitive state of a patient.
It also screens basic cognitive domains that are essential to consider for diagnosis of any dementia (e.g. attention and orientation, memory, verbal fluency, language, and visually-spatial abilities). The Addenbrook's Cognitive Examination integrates Mini-Mental State Examination with new items to be more sensitive to detect early dementia.
Time requirements for administration and evaluation allow this test to be used even by non-psychologists at medical practices.
