Accurately measuring cognitive change over time is essential for understanding healthy aging, identifying cognitive decline, and evaluating the effectiveness of interventions. Current cognitive assessments are widely used in research, clinical care, and other high-stakes settings, creating ongoing interest in how best to assess meaningful changes in an individual’s cognitive functioning over time. This National Academies workshop will explore opportunities to improve the diagnostics used to assess cognitive change, including approaches for distinguishing normal and pathological trajectories, integrating population-level norms with individual-level information, determining appropriate assessment intervals, and increasing the feasibility of more frequent cognitive measurement.
