FOTOTest
Fototest is a cognitive assessment tool that evaluates visual memory and recognition, aiding in diagnosing and monitoring Alzheimer's disease and other dementias. It detects early impairments, tracks disease progression, and helps clinicians develop personalized care plans. Commonly used in neuropsychology and clinical psychology, Fototest assesses cognitive function in individuals with cognitive impairment. It provides insights into memory and cognitive abilities related to visual stimuli, free from educational influence, and demonstrates reliable test-retest and inter-rater reliabilities. The assessment requires naming objects depicted in pictures, evaluating language skills, semantic knowledge, and memory retrieval. It is valuable for diagnosing functional impairment in individuals with Alzheimer’s disease, monitoring treatment outcomes, and aiding differential diagnosis.
