Abstract

The Cognistat is one the most frequently employed measures to briefly evaluate cognitive functioning. However, clinical experience indicates that the questions within the Judgment subtest may be biased and insensitive toward persons with motor impairments. These issues may impact the examinees performance and decrease the validity of the test - not to mention possibly create undue emotional distress. Suggestions for rectifying these issues are presented.
