Cognition

Cognition refers to the mental processes involved in attention, executive function, gaining knowledge, and comprehension, such as thinking, knowing, remembering, judging, and problem solving. Through gaze-based and touch-based tasks on the iPad, behavioral observation, and caregiver report, the NIH Baby Toolbox Cognition domain produces individual measure-level scores and composite scores. Supplemental tests are not used towards the calculation of composites but can be administered to better understand the child’s cognitive functioning.
