What An Assessment
Entails
The MARS memory assessment is a
state of the art evaluation of memory and related functions.
Here at MARS, we
will collect a wide range of information that gives us a complete picture of
your current memory functioning and allows us to assess any memory changes
in the future. The MARS memory assessment includes:
-
a comprehensive memory
test
-
a general test of cognitive
functioning
-
a personality profile
-
a measure of current mood
-
a clinical interview.
The initial
assessment will take approximately 2½ hours and you will be scheduled for a
return visit the following week in order to get personal feedback from a
trained clinician. Assessments during subsequent years will be briefer,
because all tests will not have to be repeated. You can rest assured that
the MARS staff will make your visit a comfortable experience. In
addition, services are available for friends or family that might accompany
you on your visit. |
