8 NEUROCOGNITIVE TESTING

9 WHAT IS NEUROCOGNITIVE TESTING? Baseline tests are typically taken prior to a sport season when an athlete has not yet had exposure to training and/or competition. These tests are computerized assessments that measure Reaction Time, Memory Capacity, Speed of Mental Processing, and Executive Functioning of the brain. They also record baseline concussion symptoms and provide extensive information about the athlete's history with concussions.

10 WHAT IS THE VALUE OF NEUROCOGNITIVE TESTING? In the event a concussion is received during the season, the same test (a "post-injury") is taken again by the athlete, yielding comparative scores from before and after the injury. Comparing post-injury test results to baseline test results can assist health care professionals in identifying the effects of the injury and making more informed return to school and play decisions.
