What Is Neurocognitive Testing?
Neurocognitive testing provides the clarity and direction you need when you face memory problems, trouble concentrating, or behavioral changes. Neurocognitive testing involves a series of standardized tasks that measure different cognitive functions, like attention, memory, reasoning, and processing speed. This testing helps diagnose and manage neurological conditions, such as dementia, traumatic brain injuries, and developmental disorders. Our practice also specializes in ADHD and ADD testing for both children and adults. ADD (attention deficit disorder) and ADHD (attention deficit hyperactivity disorder) are often confused. The main difference between ADD and ADHD is that ADHD includes hyperactivity and impulsiveness while ADD involves only inattention. Our tests give insight into how your brain works and affects your daily life, empowering you to make informed decisions. Schedule a consultation at our Frisco or Plano, TX practice to learn how our testing helps identify your cognitive strengths and challenges.
How Does Neurocognitive Testing Work?
During your neurocognitive testing appointment, you will complete several tasks designed to measure specific cognitive abilities. The neurocognitive tests may include memory recall, attention tasks, problem-solving exercises, and emotional assessments. For those seeking ADHD testing, our evaluations include both neuropsychological tests and behavior-based questionnaires. These tools examine ADHD symptoms in adult men and women. Adults with ADHD often experience challenges, like forgetfulness, impulsivity, and restlessness. These issues can affect work, relationships, and self-esteem. We will help you develop strategies to enhance focus and reduce distractions. Testing usually takes between 2 – 4 hours, depending on the assessments needed. After the tests, a comprehensive report is created to help our team develop a personalized care plan tailored to your needs.
What Are the Benefits of Neurocognitive Testing?
Neurocognitive testing offers many advantages that go beyond just diagnosis. The following benefits help shape long-term treatment strategies for those managing ADHD, memory disorders, and brain injuries:
- Identifies cognitive strengths and weaknesses to help improve overall mental function
- Helps differentiate between ADHD and other conditions that may affect concentration and behavior

- Monitors cognitive changes over time for managing conditions, like dementia or traumatic brain injuries

Dr. Rao is the best! Her care is exceptional. She treats me with amazing professionalism, knowledge, and compassion.
I have been coming here for several years for treatment of chronic migraine. My migraine days & intensity have reduced significantly since finding better medication. I find the doctors, medical, & front office to be very easy to work with.
Literally has been life changing. Moved from Houston where no one ever got more in depth testing to why I had migraines or other alternative treatments. Since moving here in December, I’ve now found I have some reasons as well as Botox treatment. Botox took my migraines from 20+ per month to only 5 in 3 months. It’s given me life back
