The Cognitive Linguistic Quick Test (CLQT) enables you to quickly determine severity ratings for five primary domains of cognition (attention, memory, executive functions, language and visuospatial skills) and a Composite Severity Rating for adults with known or suspected neurological impairment due to strokes, head injury or dementia.
CLQT's ten tasks tap specific cognitive skills within a short period and with relatively simple administration and scoring procedures. The ten tasks are:
-
Personal Facts
-
Symbol Cancellation
-
Confrontation Naming
-
Clock Drawing
-
Story Retelling
-
Symbol Traits
-
Generative Naming
-
Design Memory
-
Mazes
-
Design Generation.
Use CLQT results to target areas for direct treatment or everyday management of impaired skills, identify the need for more in-depth testing, or help determine a different diagnosis. The full test can be administered at a table or bedside, as long as the patient can sit up and use a pen.
Special effort was made to create some tasks with minimal language demands to assist in evaluating the cognitive functions of examinees with language disorders such as aphasia.
