Study Notes

Purpose of CLQT

Assesses five cognitive domains: attention, memory, language, executive functions, and visuospatial skills in adults with neurological dysfunction.
Provides an overall measure of cognitive-linguistic function, identifying strengths and weaknesses.
Results help guide further observations and in-depth assessments rather than serving as a definitive diagnostic tool.

Personal Factors

Evaluates episodic memory, orientation to time and place, and communication abilities.
Focus on memory (episodic) and language (word retrieval, comprehension, and production).

Symbol Cancellation

Designed to assess visual attention, scanning, discrimination, inhibition, and response shifting.
Evaluates attention and visuospatial skills through visual perceptual tasks.

Confrontation Naming

Identifies anomia, a common difficulty in retrieving specific words associated with aphasia.
Focuses on language, specifically semantics and phonology.

Clock Drawing

Quick assessment tool for tracking spontaneous recovery, rehabilitation progress, or declines due to neurological diseases.
Sensitive to overall brain function, integrating all cognitive domains.

Clock Drawing: Cognitive Domains Evaluated

Sustained attention and planning required for a multi-step task.
Working memory for maintaining task goals and procedural memory.
Executive functions for planning and monitoring.
Language skills for understanding instructions and numeric retrieval.
Visuospatial skills for accurate representation.

Story Retelling

Assesses working memory for facts in a narrative, auditory processing, and verbal production.
Evaluates domains including attention, memory (verbal working memory), and language.

Symbol Trials

Evaluates executive functions such as working memory, planning, and mental flexibility without significant language demands.
Covers attention, executive functions, and visuospatial skills.

Generative Naming

Tests ability to systematically search for words based on semantic and phonological rules.
Requires working memory to remember task rules and previously named words.

Generative Naming: Cognitive Domains Evaluated

Working memory capabilities.
Language skills related to semantics and phonology.
Involvement of executive functions.

Design Memory

Assesses immediate and working visual memory with minimal reliance on language.
Target areas include visual attention, visual memory, and visuospatial skills.

Mazes

Evaluates executive functions with low language demands; requires planning, inhibition of incorrect choices, and error correction.
Assesses attention and visuospatial abilities.

Mazes: Cognitive Domains Evaluated

Attention skills.
Executive functions related to planning and error correction.
Visuospatial skills.

Design Generation

Assesses executive skills in creativity, productivity, rapid response variation, self-monitoring, and rule following.
Minimal language requirements for task completion.

Design Generation: Cognitive Domains Evaluated

Attention-focused tasks.
Executive functions related to creativity and monitoring.
Visuospatial skills for design tasks.
