Kaplan Baycrest Neurocognitive Assessment

The KBNA™ combines behavioural neurology and traditional neuropsychological approaches to assessment across 7 major areas of cognition:

• Attention/Concentration
• Immediate Memory – Recall
• Delayed Memory – Recall
• Delayed Memory – Recognition
• Verbal Fluency
• Spatial Processing
• Reasoning/Conceptual Shifting

The KBNA can be used to provide a general overview or in-depth diagnosis of cognitive functioning and to aid treatment planning and monitoring.

Examiners are able to select the scoring and reporting option that best suit their assessment needs:

• Index Scores provide a general overview of cognition
• Process Scores provide a detailed analysis of neurocognitive functioning

Results are presented as standard scores for the Indexes and as percentile categories of low, medium and high-risk cognitive impairment for the Process Scores.

The Process Scores help the clinician break down an examinee’s performance into component processes, making it easier to identify strengths and weaknesses, reach a diagnosis, plan treatment and document improvement over time.

KBNA is correlated with the Wechsler Abbreviated Scale of Intelligence™ (WASI™), providing valuable clinical information about the effect of general cognitive ability on KBNA subtests. KBNA is also correlated with a variety of commonly used neuropsychological tests, including the California Verbal Learning Test® (CVLT®), the California Verbal Learning Test – Second Edition (CVLT®-II) and the Boston Naming Test.
