What Is Targeted Neurocognitive Evaluation (TNE)?
Targeted Neurocognitive Evaluation (TNE) is a focused, efficient, and senior-friendly approach to assessing changes in memory and thinking in older adulthood. It is designed for older adults who may be noticing cognitive changes themselves, or whose family members, physicians, or other healthcare providers have concerns about possible decline.
Unlike broader and more time-intensive evaluations, TNE is designed to assess the cognitive areas most relevant to your concerns. It provides a clear picture of current cognitive functioning and helps establish a meaningful baseline that can be used for comparison over time.
This type of evaluation can be especially helpful when there are questions about Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI) and other age-related cognitive changes.
TNE is designed to offer a more focused and efficient evaluation experience while still providing careful attention to the cognitive questions that matter most. It can help clarify whether current difficulties appear consistent with normal aging, Mild Cognitive Impairment, or a pattern that deserves closer attention.
What Cognitive Concerns Does TNE Evaluate?
Targeted Neurocognitive Evaluation has been specifically designed to assess the cognitive areas most relevant to Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI) and other age-related changes.
It can help evaluate concerns such as:
□ Memory weakness
□ Word-finding difficulty
□ Slowed thinking or reduced processing speed
□ Trouble concentrating or sustaining attention
