“My daughter was having difficulty at school, and with each day I felt more helpless. When I found KMN Psych, I realized professional testing was the only way we could get the answers we needed.

The process was simple, insightful, and truly changed our lives.”

"As a mom, I was initially nervous about my child undergoing neuropsychological testing, but it turned out to be an incredibly positive experience. The evaluation provided a comprehensive understanding of my child's strengths and areas of need, which has been invaluable for tailoring their educational plan. The insights from Dr. Max and team have not only helped the school create a more effective learning environment but also guided us in seeking the right support and interventions.

Overall, the testing has empowered us with the knowledge to better support our child's development and well-being."

"After your evaluation and suggestion to consider testosterone therapy I had blood work done by a functional medicine specialist and was immediately put me on testosterone as well as Pregnenolone. I cant tell you what a difference it made. The first week I felt like I was on mushrooms. Ever since I feel like a new person, like a dark cloud was lifted. I have tested low for many years and three different primary care doctors that I questioned made no mention of low testosterone causing depressive symptoms. Had it not been for your suggestion I would still be living in the dark. With great appreciation, thank you!"

I recently completed neuropsychological testing as an adult female to better understand some ongoing mental health concerns, and I’m so grateful I did. The entire process was very thorough — from the detailed intake session to the actual testing, which covered memory, attention, processing speed, and emotional functioning. The clinician made me feel heard, respected, and never rushed. The evaluation helped identify ADHD, generalized anxiety disorder, and trauma-related patterns, which finally gave me clarity after years of confusion. I also received a comprehensive report with clear recommendations for therapy, medication options, and strategies for daily life. This experience was truly life-changing and empowering. If you are struggling to find answers about your mental health as an adult, I highly recommend pursuing neuropsychological testing here.

What is Memory and Cognition Testing?

Memory and cognition testing is a comprehensive neuropsychological evaluation that assesses various aspects of brain function, including memory, attention, processing speed, language abilities, and executive functioning. At KMN Psych, we utilize standardized assessment tools such as the Wide Range Assessment of Memory and Learning (WRAML3) and the Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale (WAIS IV) to evaluate cognitive performance across multiple domains.

Each assessment is tailored to the individual’s age, symptoms, and specific concerns, ensuring we capture a complete picture of their cognitive strengths and challenges. This thorough evaluation helps identify memory disorders, cognitive impairments, and other brain-related conditions that may be affecting daily functioning.

All KMN Testing Measures Used:

  1. The Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale (WAIS IV)
  2. Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory (MMPI-3)
  3. Wide Range Assessment of Memory and Learning (WRAML3)
  4. Bender Visual-Motor Gestalt Test (GVMGT)
  5. Thematic Apperceptions Test (TAT)
  6. Vineland Adaptive Behavior Scales (VABS)
  7. Behavior Rating Inventoy of Executive Function (BRIEF) Assessment Tools

Types of Memory and Cognitive Disorders We Test For

At KMN Psych, our comprehensive memory and cognition testing can identify a wide range of conditions that affect cognitive function. Understanding which specific disorder is present is crucial for developing effective treatment strategies and planning for the future.

Schedule An Assessment

Alzheimer's Disease

The most common form of dementia affects memory, thinking, and behavior. Early detection through neuropsychological testing can help with treatment planning and family preparation.

Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI)

A condition between normal aging and more serious cognitive decline. Testing helps determine if memory issues are within normal limits or indicative of a progressive condition.

Vascular Dementia

Caused by reduced blood flow to the brain, often following strokes or cardiovascular events. Testing evaluates the extent of cognitive impact and areas most affected.

Frontotemporal Dementia (FTD)

Primarily affects behavior, personality, and language. Our comprehensive testing can differentiate FTD from other conditions with similar symptoms.

Lewy Body Dementia

Characterized by fluctuating cognitive abilities, visual hallucinations, and movement problems. Specialized testing helps identify this complex condition.

Learning-Related Memory Issues

Memory problems that affect academic or work performance, often requiring educational accommodations or workplace modifications.

Post-Injury Cognitive Changes

Memory and cognitive issues following traumatic brain injury, stroke, or other neurological events.
